I see a couple of problems:
- Inside flow_count, you say $HASH_OF_FLOW->{'$key'} = 'M2'. By surrounding $key with single quotes, you're getting the string '$key' rather than the value in the variable $key. Drop those quotes.
- In your foreach loop, you're not dereferencing your hashrefs. For example, where you say $FTFM_HASH_OF_FLOW{$key}, you should be saying $FTFM_HASH_OF_FLOW->{$key}.
- You're not using strict and warnings -- if you were, you'd have been scolded for #2, above.
As an aside, you may want to read up on How (Not) To Ask A Question; it will advise you on how to get better responses. For example, providing the text of the error you're receiving would have been useful.
You might also want to take a look at Data::Dumper; if you'd used that to inspect the contents of $HASH_OF_FLOW, you'd have very quickly seen problem #1.

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).

are good places to start.
