Adjust the good/bad sets as required.

use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::More;

my @good = (
    'perfect weather',
    'Nobody\'s Perfect',
    'PeRfEcT!!',
);

my @bad = (
    'imperfect',
    'Perfecto!',
    'perfection',
);

my $re = qr/^perfect\b|\bperfect$/i;

plan tests => @good + @bad;

like   $_, $re, "match for '$_'"    for @good;
unlike $_, $re, "no match for '$_'" for @bad;
