Downloading and building Rakudo Perl

Best practice is to obtain from github

See http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo

$ git clone git://github.com/rakudo/rakudo.git
$ cd rakudo
$ perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot
$ make
$ make install        # see note
$ make test           # run small test suite
$ make spectest       # run official test suite

Currently "make install" installs to a subdirectory -- see the README file for how to install to other locations.
