It works for me if the file is group or world executable.

$chmod a-x java.exe; ls -l java.exe
-rw-------+ 1 Administratorzy Brak 45161 Mar  8 19:49 java.exe

$ perl -e '-x "java.exe" and print "OK\n";'

$ chmod +x java.exe; ls -l java.exe
-rwx------+ 1 Administratorzy Brak 45161 Mar  8 19:49 java.exe

$ perl -e '-x "java.exe" and print "OK\n";'

$ chmod g+x java.exe; ls -l java.exe
-rwx--x---+ 1 Administratorzy Brak 45161 Mar  8 19:49 java.exe

$ perl -e '-x "java.exe" and print "OK\n";'
OK

$ chmod a+x java.exe; ls -l java.exe
-rwx--x--x+ 1 Administratorzy Brak 45161 Mar  8 19:49 java.exe

$ perl -e '-x "java.exe" and print "OK\n";'
OK
