in thread [Perl6] How do I install Inline::Perl5

Yes - I had tried that:
sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~/perl6$ perl6 configure.pl6 Could not open configure.pl6. Failed to stat file: no such file or dir +ectory
Hmmm ... maybe there's something I need to download and unpack first ...

Cheers,
Rob

    Oh - I would imagine that you have to either download the tarball from the 6PAN or check out the repository, in the hope of finding the files there :-))

      Many perl5 readme's *did* specify the need to first download the distro ... I guess perl6 must be assuming a more intelligent clientele :-)
      Having downloaded the entire Inline-Perl5 distro from github, I'm now getting (on Ubuntu-14.04, btw):
      sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~/p/Inline-Perl5$ perl6 configure.pl6 ===SORRY!=== Could not find LibraryMake in: /home/sisyphus/.perl6/2015.12 /home/sisyphus/.rakudobrew/moar-2015.12/install/share/perl6/site /home/sisyphus/.rakudobrew/moar-2015.12/install/share/perl6/vendor /home/sisyphus/.rakudobrew/moar-2015.12/install/share/perl6 CompUnit::Repository::AbsolutePath<139803589500272> CompUnit::Repository::NQP<139803589496864> CompUnit::Repository::Perl5<139803589493704> sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~/p/Inline-Perl5$ make test make: *** No rule to make target `test'. Stop. sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~/p/Inline-Perl5$
      Looks like there's something else missing.

      UPDATE: Ok - I think I found LibraryMake but it offers even less help regarding the means of installing. (Obviously assumes an even *more* intelligent clientele :-)

      This module contains:
      P6-LibraryMake/ P6-LibraryMake/.gitignore P6-LibraryMake/.travis.yml P6-LibraryMake/lib/ P6-LibraryMake/lib/LibraryMake.pm6 P6-LibraryMake/LICENSE P6-LibraryMake/META.info P6-LibraryMake/README.md P6-LibraryMake/t/ P6-LibraryMake/t/01-basic.t P6-LibraryMake/t/Makefile.in P6-LibraryMake/t/test.c
      What incantation is required to install it ?

      Cheers,
      Rob
        I'm not at my machine with P6, so I can't try, but shouldn't panda handle it itself?
