More mods to Grandfather's code to avoid the ugly eval: 
sub checkit {
    my ($tests, $filename) = @_;
    my %TestCode=(
        "-e" => sub{-e $_[0] } ,
        "-w" => sub{-w $_[0] } ,
        "-d" => sub{-d $_[0] } ,
    );
    my @testList = split ",", $tests;
    for (@testList){
       exists $TestCode{$_}       or return 0;
       $TestCode{$_}->($filename) or return 0; 
    }
    return 1; # Passed all tests
}

Yes, as others have shown, more optimization is possible to avoid multiple stat calls for the same file - the point of THIS post was to avoid the eval.
