From @tbrowder

Currently, installation of Rakudo packages (Star and not) seem to
install data into the installing user's $HOME directory. The
installation process needs to be able to be installed by root into a
site-wide directory with the --prefix=/desired/rakudo/dir option
(which should have a commonly used default such as /usr/local/rakudo
or /opt/rakudo).

The installations need to include both zef and panda into the
appropriate bin sub-directories of the installation directory.

There needs to be a common default module installation location,
understood by both panda and zef, and preferably under the rakudo
installation directory,so that no hidden directories need be added to
a user's path, nor any PERL6LIB definition is needed.
