First of all please fix your indentation, you seem to be mixing spaces and tabs.

This might look ok in your editor, but your tab-length is 8 while we use 4 here.

It's hard to tell what you are trying to achieve, my best guess is to check that all regexes in an array individually match.

the following debugger-demo is using the fact that grep returns a count in scalar context

> perl -de0

  DB<134> @patterns = ("^abd", "ghi");

  DB<135> $string = "abd__ghi__"

  DB<136> p @patterns == grep { $string =~ $_ } @patterns
1
  DB<137>

  DB<137> $string = "abd__xhi__"

  DB<138> p @patterns == grep { $string =~ $_ } @patterns

  DB<139>

even easier if you use all from List::Util

  DB<139> use List::Util qw/all/

  DB<140> $string = "abd__ghi__"

  DB<141> p all { $string =~ $_ } @patterns
1
  DB<142>
