I'm going to start learning Perl 6 and read that I should be using rakudo star so I've been trying install it. I downloaded the tar.gz file and extracted it in my Downloads directory. From there I opened my terminal and tried the ./configure in the directory along with make. I tried the sudo chmod +x ./configure. I've done it all...driving me crazy.

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
I have installed stunnel4, build essential(but I can't find the GUI...if there is one, lol). I've tried dpkg as well. I'm lost if you could let me in on what I'm doing wrong I would truly appreciate it. THANX!
Ohh, BTW Huge newb to Ubuntu/linux...learning.
