I'm getting compilation errors:
Global symbol "%xinfo" requires explicit package name at pat.pl line 17

Heres the code:
use strict;
no strict 'refs';   # stop complaints about hard references
use warnings;
no warnings 'once'; # no warnings if only indirect data accesses

sub display_data();
sub dump_data();

format STDOUT_TOP =

format STDOUT =

    my ($field, $value) = split ' ', $_, 2;
