a.. How do I initialise an array of a definite size with zero. Say the C
equivalent of such a statement will be:
int a[125];
for(i=0;i<125;i++)
a[i]=0;
Not needed. Perl assume zero if a non-existing element is used in an
arithmetic expression.
perl -e '$a[$_] += int(rand(10)) for 0..10;print"@a\n"'
b. Is it possible, to have dates as index? I am trying to parse and process
data corresponding to a list of "trades" I have made(financial trades) and
want to see, how my portfolio varies with time. So is it possible to do in
such a way?
Perl has no date type. All dates are either strings or numbers. You
can use any string as the keys to a hash. Numbers would be convert to
strings if they are used as keys.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
