I'm playing around with Rakudo Perl 6 lately and was searching for a project similar to CPAN. I found CPAN 6, but I think there is no Perl 6 code yet.

So I'm looking for some alternative that does not necessarily aim to be a long term solution, but is capable of maintaining modules and is written in Perl 6.

As Rakudo development goes it might be possible to create more complex Perl 6 code soon.

Your first stop for Perl 6 modules should be https://modules.raku.org/.

Modules should be installed with zef.

Markov owns cpan6.org and worked on-and-off for some years on it. Most people I've talked don't regard this project well for various reasons. Most existing Perl 6 code lives at modules.raku.org, formerly proto.perl.org.

There's been talk on cpan-workers to simply extend the archive structure in some canonical way to make it more suitable for other languages, a solution arrived 7 years later.

The new hotness is zef. This will query modules available on the Perl 6 website. It comes with the latest version of Rakudo * and is very simple to use.

As of today, March 2018, zef is the preferred way of installing Perl 6 modules and it taps two different repositories, the list of modules in modules.perl.org and, effectively, CPAN, which will eventually become the only place for Perl 6 modules.
