I have this snippet of code that works great except I need it to match 3 elements of a line that are not in a row. I am trying to match LName FName and county to remove the line but it removes all lines based on county only, instead of all 3. So if a line has Jim Jones 77477 Dade Hollywood it needs to be deleted based on a match of Jim Jones Dade. 
 
File entries are in this format
"LName","FName","Zip","County","Town"

code is here
$log_name = "zipfile.txt";

my $exclude = "$input{'FName'}, $input{'LName'}, $input{'county'}";

my @excludes = split (/ /,$exclude);

   local @ARGV = ($log_name);
   local $^I = '.bak';
   LOOP: while (<>) {
      foreach my $entry (@excludes) {
         next LOOP if (/$entry/);
      }
      print;
   }
}
