Any suggestions on where it is I'm going wrong with this?

Well, you posted code which isn't complete and which doesn't demonstrate your bug :) I see you took a page out of Basic debugging checklist, and that is a good step towards asking a question effectively, but as you can see from my complete snippet, what you've shown so far demonstrates no bug 

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
my @stuff;
push @stuff, [ qw[ TECH SCANNER WEBSERVER TALKTOME TRAINING ] ];
push @stuff, [ qw[ TESTING MOBILE TECHADMIN CIRCADMIN MANAGERS ] ];

for my $row ( @stuff ){
    my @rows = @$row;
    print "@rows\n";
    format STDOUT =
    @<<<<<<<<<<<<  @<<<<<<<<<<<<  @<<<<<<<<<<<<  @<<<<<<<<<<<<  @<<<<<
+<<<<<<< 
    @rows
.

    write;
}
__END__
