No need to work around - simply correct the format. The basic rule is:
Whenever there is a "picture" line with @- or ^-fields, then the next line
must be an argument line supplying the values for the fields. Note that the
fourth line ("@header, ... $%") should be moved one up, and instead
of "@header" we should perhaps have "$header". (The "@header" makes the
format parser look for another line with expressions, and that's why we
get the syntax error. Well, after all it's "Perl", not "Pörl" ;-)
