in reply to One line assigment statement with regex match

Do you mean something like:
my @terms = qw(one two three); @matches = grep { my $line = $_; grep {$line =~ /$_/} @terms } @lines_ +from_file;
?

    That way will nicely return a list of lines that have at least one of the terms in them. A variant will return a list of terms that are found in at least one line:
    my @matches = grep { my $term = $_; grep{ $_=~/$term/}@lines } @terms;
    It's unclear from the description which of these (or something else) the OP wants.
