I've done a few hours of Googling and can't seem to find the solution.

I want to check if an array of single words (strings) contains several specific words, in any order.
I have this code, cobbled together from advice found online: 

my %hash = @allwords; #puts array in hash to search / compare.

if (exists $hash{'word1' && 'word2' && 'word3'}) {
   ...do stuff ;
}

I want the if to be true if all the words are found, in any order. But it's returning true
if just word3 is found. I think it's ignoring word1 and word2.
I'm too new at Perl to know if it's even appropriate syntax, although it doesn't give any error currently.
I've also found a technique using $_ eq, but it doesn't seem to be matching the way I want:

if ( grep { $_ eq 'word1' && 'word2' } @allwords ) {
    ...do stuff; 
}

Keep in mind, I never found any solution to match several values; so this && tactic is a semi-educated guess.

p.s. I don't know why the code format is so tiny in the preview.. I can hardly read the code. But hopefully
it's not that way when I post it.
