Something like this? 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use List::Util qw( min );

my @numbers;
my %rec = ( 'add_loc' => {
            '4' => 'Store 1|100 Main Street|55.06',
            '3' => 'Store 2|210 East Main Street|0.00',
            '2' => 'Store 3|301 West Main Street|11.23' }
);

for my $i (keys %rec) {
    for my $j ( values %{ $rec{$i} } ) {
        push( @numbers, (split( /\|/, $j))[-1] );
    }
}

print min( @numbers );
