How to get an evenly distributed sample from Perl array values?

Programmer Question

I have an array containing many values between 0 and 360 (like degrees in a circle), but unevenly distributed:

1,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,100,120,140,188, 210, 280, 355

Now I need to reduce those values to e.g. 4 only, but as evenly as possible distributed values.

How to do that?

Thanks,
Jan
