Since the weapon names don't seem to matter, only their attributes,
I think it's simpler to iterate over the values of the
weapons hash per Cristoforo's approach. This works
with map, but I think it's even simpler (and IMHO clearer) to use
for-loops:

use Data::Dumper;
my $weapons_ref = {
dagger => { cost => 8, damage => 4, armor => 0, },
shortsword => { cost => 10, damage => 5, armor => 0, },
warhammer => { cost => 25, damage => 6, armor => 0, },
longsword => { cost => 40, damage => 7, armor => 0, },
greataxe => { cost => 74, damage => 8, armor => 0, },
};
my $sum_result;
my @sum_fields = qw/cost damage armor/;
# map { # works
# my $attrib = $_;
# map { $sum_result->{$_} += $attrib->{$_} } @sum_fields
# } values %$weapons_ref;
for my $hr_attrib (values %$weapons_ref) {
$sum_result->{$_} += $hr_attrib->{$_} for @sum_fields;
}
print Dumper $sum_result;
^Z
$VAR1 = {
'cost' => 157,
'damage' => 30,
'armor' => 0
};

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).
