Not sure I've understand the problem. You want the sum of the products of a set of pairs, right?
If so, you don't need a hash, you could do:
use strict;
use warnings;
my @change = (1.15, -0.1, 5.4, 1.03, -0.241);
my @numberofshares = (100, 400, 200, 300, 240);
my $sum=0;
while (my $k=pop @change) {
$sum+=$k*pop @numberofshares;
}
print $sum;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
