The bare “Rakudo” 2012.01 release will not be very useful.
The "Rakudo Star” package includes modules that anyone would need for this contest (e.g. Digest::MD5 and File::Find).
The latest is 2013.12.
These steps (retrieve+build+install) completed in <15 minutes on my laptop:
curl -O http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/rakudo-star-2013.12.tar.gz
tar xf rakudo-star-2013.12.tar.gz
cd rakudo-star-2013.12
perl Configure.pl --prefix=/usr/local/rakudo --gen-parrot &> conf.log
make &> make.log
make install &> inst.log
/usr/local/rakudo/bin/perl6 -e 'say "It works!"'
Of course, replace /usr/local/rakudo with your choice of location.
