Here's a first shot, 110 characters in body only -- lacks some error check (it's going to fail with anything less than two arguements), but if you consider the second arg to be 0, then that makes sense.. :-)
use strict;
my @poly1 = ( 2, 4, 6 );
my @poly2 = ( 3, 1, 0 );
my @poly4 = ( 5, 2, 1, 2 );
my @poly3 = p( \@poly1, \@poly2, \@poly4 );
print (join',',@poly3)."\n";
my @poly5 = p( \@poly4, \@poly1, \@poly2 );
print (join',',@poly5)."\n";
sub p {
my$a=shift;my$b=shift;my(@c,$i,$j);for$i(0..$#$a){for$j(0..$#$b){$c[
+$i+$j]+=$$a[$i]*$$b[$j]}};@_?p(\@c,@_):\@c
}
Update: Cut down 5 more characters to 105, since you don't need to have $j around in the inner loop:
sub p {
my$a=shift;my$b=shift;my(@c,$i);for$i(0..$#$a){for(0..$#$b){$c[$i+$_
+]+=$$a[$i]*$$b[$_]}};@_?p(\@c,@_):\@c
}
Update #2 as per tilly's reply, fixed the return problem to add that extra character.

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).
