I can't answer the "why" question, but the stuff in S02 might help you. Look for "generalized adverbial form": http://feather.perl6.nl/syn/S02.html The file test is really an adverbial pair (and see the message about pairs that I just posted). Larry just updated S03 with some clarification on file tests. Look at the section on "Changes to Perl 5 Operators" http://feather.perl6.nl/syn/S03.html
