Your slice solution is buggy and uses scalar needlessly.
my $keys = keys(%my) < 100 ? keys(%mh) : 100;
my @k = ( keys %mh )[0..$keys-1];
or
my $keys = min 100, keys(%mh);
my @k = ( keys %mh )[0..$keys-1];
(List::Util provides min)
A splice solution:
my @k = keys %mh;
splice( @k, 100 ) if @k > 100;
You need the conditional to avoid the warning.
Update: Added fix to OP's slice solution.
