Form a maintainable view, I would suggest you, to put things in OO style:

workflow.pm:
package workflow;

use strict;

sub new {
    my $self = {};
    $self->{TASKS} = [];
    bless $self;
    return $self;
}

sub add_task {
    my $self = shift;
    push @{$self->{TASKS}}, shift;
}

sub do_it {
    my $self = shift;
    my $item = shift;

    foreach my $task (@{$self->{TASKS}}) {
        &{$task}($item);
    }
}

1;

workflow_table.pm:
package workflow_table;

use workflow;

use strict;

sub new {
    my $self = {};
    $self->{WORKFLOWS} = {};
    bless $self;
    return $self;
}

sub add_task {
    my $self = shift;
    my $type = shift;
    my $task = shift;
    if (!defined($self->{WORKFLOWS}->{$type})) {
        $self->{WORKFLOWS}->{$type} = new workflow;
    }
    $self->{WORKFLOWS}->{$type}->add_task($task);
}

sub do_it {
    my $self = shift;
    my $type = shift;
    my $item = shift;
    $self->{WORKFLOWS}->{$type}->do_it($item);
}

1;

test.pl
use workflow_table;
use Data::Dumper;
use strict;

sub apple_wash {print "wash apple ".shift()."\n";}
sub apple_core {print "core apple ".shift()."\n";}
sub apple_pulp {print "pulp apple ".shift()."\n";}
sub banana_bend {print "bend banana ".shift()."\n";}
sub banana_hang {print "hang banana ".shift()."\n";}

my $t = new workflow_table;
$t->add_task("apple", \&apple_wash);
$t->add_task("apple", \&apple_core);
$t->add_task("apple", \&apple_pulp);
$t->add_task("banana", \&banana_bend);
$t->add_task("banana", \&banana_hang);
$t->do_it("banana", "banana1");
$t->do_it("banana", "banana2");

$t->do_it("apple", "orange?");
