in thread Detecting function vs method in an AUTOLOAD?

Yes, once you've taken a reference to a method, it's essentially a sub ref at that point, so the Perl 6 equivalent of your code works as you'd expect. In fact, the standard dispatchers are defined in those terms. But the standard dispatchers will be able to keep subs and methods straight to the extent that you wish them to (which, by default, is up to the point that a method turns out to be completely missing, and you wish it to "failover" to looking for a multi-sub instead).
