Is there other built-in methods not found in perl5 that you are
aware of? 
Yes.

I'd like to work out declarations and implementations
of them in one sweep, if possible. :-)
Hah! Dream on! I don't think we have a canonical list anywhere (except in 
Larry's head). Some non-Perl-5 Perl 6 builtins that instantly come to mind 
include:

        zip       - interleave arrays (also the C<¥> operator)
        uniq      - remove duplicates without reordering
        reduce    - standard list processing function
        sum       - add list values
        max       - maximum (may take a block to specify comparison criterion)
        min       - minimum (may take a block to specify comparison criterion)
        kv        - return interleaves keys and values from a hash or array
        type      - return the type metaobject for a referent
        pick      - select at random from a list, array, or hash
I'm sure there are many others.
