>> in POD::Find version 0.12, the file tests are in your suggested order:

Oops, I forgot to mention my version of Pod::Find - it is 0.21 and it came in the current distribution of Pod-Parser-1.18 on CPAN. The file Pod/Find.pm is dated 1-Sep-2000.

Is your version 0.12 much older? And is it POD or Pod?

Anyway, what is bugging me is that changing the order of evaluation of the 3 terms in the && expression can change the boolean result - this looks like a bug to me.

What happens if you change your 

unless($file =~ /\.(pod|pm|plx?)\z/i || (-f $file && -x _ && -T _))

to 
unless($file =~ /\.(pod|pm|plx?)\z/i || (-f $file && -T _ && -x _ ))

- does it change the boolean result?
