Try reading the contents of the /etc/varnish/secret file into a variable and
pass that to the new() method:
my $secret;
{
local $/;
open my $fh, '<', ‘/etc/varnish/secret or die "can't open secret
file: $!";
$secret = <$fh>;
}

$self appears to be an object, normally a pointer to a hash.
$self->secret() executes a call to the object method secret() and returns a
value, which is probably the secret key.
( not $self->secret() ) is a logical expression negating the value returned by
the secret() method.
Therefore, as you have correctly surmised, the expression will evaluate to true
if $self has no secret value.
