This is what you want... if ($node =~ /ma.*ny|ny.*ma/)
You didn't specify the order, so I included both. You might find that you get a better performance from using what you already are using. You would need to check it though. So to anwer your question, no, '&&' will not work. Use ".*" to represent any number of characters instead.
