Hi - thanks for the prompt replies. After making the changes i.e. 
foreach my $t (keys %tests) {
    my $cmd="$t '$myfile'";
    print "running [$cmd]\n";
    if ( eval{"$cmd"} )

Perl now says ... 
running [-r './test.pl']
 Passed [-r] test, ./test.pl is (is readable)
running [-T './test.pl']
 Passed [-T] test, ./test.pl is (type Text)
running [-z './test.pl']
 Passed [-z] test, ./test.pl is (is Zero bytes)
running [-B './test.pl']
 Passed [-B] test, ./test.pl is (is Binary)
running [-s './test.pl']
 Passed [-s] test, ./test.pl is (more than 0 bytes)

So my script is a 0 byte file and also a > 0 byte file. Cool! :)
