can i compare individual string with complete array i am comparing excel row with array using the following way, description variable contains string to match with @steps_name array

my @steps_name=("1-2 Steps", "5-7 Steps", "8-10 Steps", "11-15 Steps")
+;

foreach $sheet (@{$workbook->{Worksheet}}) {

       foreach $col ($sheet->{MinCol} .. $sheet->{MaxCol})
       {
 
               
                if ($sheet->{Cells}[0][$col]->{Val} eq "DESCRIPTION") 
               {
                       $description = $col;                    
               }
                             
            
               
       }
        
       foreach $row ($sheet->{MinRow}+1 .. 50) 
       {
         
         
           my $db_description = $sheet->{Cells}[$row][$description]->{
+Val};
        
            my $needle_regex = quotemeta $db_description;    
                
                if (grep { /(?i)\Q$db_description\E/ } @steps_name)   
+             
                {
                    print "<br><h1>Element '$db_description' found $st
+eps_name[$row+1] --- $seq_code[$row+1] !</h1></br>" ;
                }
                
                else
                {
                    print "<br>$db_description not found </br>"
                }
