Building *-2010.08, using your "test.p6", I get the following:
# download r*, using pre-installed parrot.
$ perl Configure.pl
$ make -j3
$ make install # pretty sure this is required.
$ perl6 test.p6

$ perl6 --target=pir test.p6 > test.pir
$ parrot test.pir
Greetings, earthlings, err Perl 6 neophytes.
