or, if you don't know what the words are ahead of time:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my @approved = qw( foo bar);

@approved = map { $_ = quotemeta $_; ### very important
                  qr/$_/is;  ## available in perl 6, not really needed
                } @approved;

print "The approved list\n", join "\n", @approved;

my $merex = join ' && ', map "/$_/", @approved;

print "merex \n$merex\n\n";
if(@ARGV)
{
    print "ARGV\n";

    while(<DATA>)
    {
        print if eval $merex;
    }
}
else
{
    while(<DATA>)
    {
        my $toprint = 0;
        for my $r(@approved)
        {
            $toprint++ if m/$r/;
        }
        print if $toprint == scalar @approved;
    }
}

__DATA__
foo bar
bar foo

which yields:

F:\dev>perl f.pl 3

(?si-xm:foo)
(?si-xm:bar)merex
/(?si-xm:foo)/ && /(?si-xm:bar)/

F:\dev>perl f.pl

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
