Your code looks better. Here is one liner. Two ways, filling first bucket first and filling bucket one after another.

$ perl -MData::Dumper -le '$bucket={}; @a=(1..12); $max=scalar @a/4; f
+or my $x(1..4) { for my $y(0..$max-1){ push @{$bucket->{$x}},shift(@a
+); } } print Dumper $bucket'
$VAR1 = {
          '4' => [
                   10,
                   11,
                   12
                 ],
          '1' => [
                   1,
                   2,
                   3
                 ],
          '3' => [
                   7,
                   8,
                   9
                 ],
          '2' => [
                   4,
                   5,
                   6
                 ]
        };


$ perl -MData::Dumper -le '$how_many=4; $bucket={}; $count=1;for (1..1
+2) { push @{$bucket->{$count++}},$_; $count=1 if $_%$how_many == 0; }
+; print Dumper $bucket'
$VAR1 = {
          '2' => [
                   2,
                   6,
                   10
                 ],
          '3' => [
                   3,
                   7,
                   11
                 ],
          '4' => [
                   4,
                   8,
                   12
                 ],
          '1' => [
                   1,
                   5,
                   9
                 ]
        };

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
