you'll never exit the loop that way, because you never modify $i.
You could use +=, though : 
my $i=0;
while ($i <=100){    
    printf("%3.2f\n",$i+=0.01);
}

    This thread is probably already too deep for anyone to care, but if I were doing this, I would do so thusly:

        printf "%3.2f\n", $_/100 for 0 .. 100*100;
