I would think if you just want valid and defined you could use:
if ($key !~ /$valid/ and defined $value) {

Modified version:
use strict;
use warnings;
my %hash = ('acc12' => 1, 'acc2' => 0, 'acc3' => undef, 'una1' => 1);
my $valid = '^(acc1|acc2|acc3)$';
while (my ($key, $value) = each %hash) {
if ($key !~ /$valid/) {
print "Invalid Key: $key, ";
} else {
print "Valid Key: $key, ";
}
if (defined $value) {
print "Value defined for $key: $value\n";
} else {
print "Value undefined for $key\n";
}
}
