I first thought you could do the checks in a nested loop, but it turns out that you would essentially have to rewrite the loops that you used to populate the matrix, so that you wouldn't really check very much.

Just a quick comment on your loops. Using Perl-style loops instead of C-style loops might be slightly easier, for example: 

for my $i (0..6) {
    for my $j (0..6) {
        $matrix[$i][$j][$_] = 0 for (0..2);
    }
}
