Learned something new today!  Many is the time I've had to grep my 
documentation or perldoc.com for information about file test operators. 
  The fact that they're call "operators" always points me away from 
looking at perlfunc -- and even when I *do* look there, the size of 
that file is daunting.  So I end up looking them up in the Camel book.

And it appears you can substitute the file test of your choice for the 
'x'.  This will be a time saver.

Thanks, David.
