Construct the list of keys which have values within your desired range. Pull a random key out of that list, and you're done! 
#!/usr/bin/perl

my $min = 2;
my $max = 5;

my %hash = (
        a => 00,
        b => 01,
        c => 02,
        d => 03,
        e => 04,
        f => 05,
        g => 06
);

# Main program
my @match = grep { $hash{$_} >= $min and $hash{$_} <= $max } keys %has
+h;
my $rand  = $match[rand @match];

printf "Random key = '%s', Value = '%s'\n", $rand, $hash{$rand};
