What ww said. :-)

But even that could get ugly. Perhaps put all your combinations in an array and loop over them. You then have a chance to see which element(s) were missing. 

#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my @combinations = qw{
  scan print rinse repeat
};

my @test_strings = do{local $\;<DATA>};
chomp @test_strings;

for my $string (@test_strings){
  my @misses;
  for my $ele (@combinations){
    next if $string =~ /\Q$ele\E/;
    push @misses, $ele;
  }
  print $string, q{ -> };
  if (@misses){
    print qq{no matches for: @misses\n};
  }
  else{
    print qq{all matched\n};
  }
}

__DATA__
scan and print and rinse and repeat
print and scan and rinse and repeat
print and scan and rinse
print
