Liked your code (++), but wanted to avoid "eval" - this works : 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my %test2 = (
    'a data file' => sub {-f _},
    'a directory' => sub {-d _},
    'readable'    => sub {-r _},
    'writable'    => sub {-w _},
    'executable'  => sub {-x _},
    );
die "Usage:  $0 [path/]file.name ...\n" unless @ARGV;

for my $file ( @ARGV ) {
    my $report = "$file does not exist\n";
    if ( -e $file ) {
        $report = "$file exists and is:\n";
        for my $t ( sort keys %test2 ) {
            $report .= " ... $t\n" if $test2{$t}->();
        }
    }
    print "$report\n";
}
