I'd recommend

$ rakudobrew build moar_jit # just in time MoarVM
$ rakudobrew build-panda # like cpanm
$ panda install Task::Star # some useful modules

It's a lot faster to build than even a few months back and (for a tiny
number of restricted and probably misleading benchmarks) faster than
5.   Yes most things still are a couple of magnitudes slower but since
it's mostly written in itself people are able to fix that.

Things are currently in a rapid state of change and you may have to
frequently rebuild  via the first step or you could try
