Please consider using for loops to simplify your array assignment logic to reduce the possibility of mistakes. pp() is very useful for checking that everything has worked as expected.

use feature ":5.14";
use warnings FATAL => qw(all);
use strict;
use Data::Dump qw(dump pp);

my $wheel = 2100; 
my @chwhs = qw (23 26  27);                  # test data
my @cogs  = qw (11 13 15 17 19 21 24 28 32); # test data

my $gear;

for my $c(0..2)
 {$gear->[$c][$_] = $wheel*$chwhs[$c]/$cogs[$_] for 0..8;
 }

pp($gear);

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
