what is wrong with this script now? since I have to expand a @attrs_results I thought I could break it down below but program says _status is not recognzized all the way at the bottom when I try to extract it. 
use strict;
use Text::CSV_XS;
my @data;
my $count = 0;

input ();

my @attrs_stop    = qw( _status
                        _gwname
                        _ac_ID_field);

my @attrs_attempt = qw( _status
                        _gwname
                        _ac_ID_field);
                  
sub input {
     my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new;
     while ( <DATA> ) {
        chomp;
        next if /^START/;
        $count++;
        $csv->parse($_);
        my @fields = $csv->fields;
        my %rec;
        my @attrs_results;
        if (/^STOP/) {
            @attrs_results = @attrs_stop; 
        } else {
            @attrs_results = @attrs_attempt;
        }
        @rec{@attrs_results} = @fields;
        push @data, \%rec;
    }
 }

foreach my $info (@data) {
    print "$info->{_status}\n";
}

print "There were $count calls\n";
