Using a slightly more lengthy method integrating a module that comes standard with Perl:

use Time::Local;
use strict;
use warnings;

my ($from, $to, $range);

$from = '2010-06-01';
$to = '2011-01-01';

if (!($range = dateRange($from, $to, 3))) {
    print "Could not calculate.\n";
}
else {
    print "@$range";
}

sub dateRange {
    my ($fd, $td, $n) = @_;
    my (@range);

    $range[0] = $fd;
    $range[$n] = $td;

    $fd = [split /-/, $fd];
    $td = [split /-/, $td];

    ### Calculate timestamps from given dates
    ### Croaks on bad date, so have to eval just in case
    eval {
        ### Make sure to use timestamp from middle of day
        ### to eliminate potential problems with Daylight
        ### Savings or day rounding
        $fd = timelocal(undef, undef, 12,
            $fd->[2], $fd->[1]-1, $fd->[0]);
        $td = timelocal(undef, undef, 12,
            $td->[2], $td->[1]-1, $td->[0]);
    };
    return if $@;

    ### Calculate intermediate timestamps
    ### Reverse from timestamps back to dates
    for (1..($n-1)) {
        @_ = localtime($fd + ($td - $fd) / $n * $_);
        $range[$_] = sprintf('%04d-%02d-%02d',
            $_[5] + 1900, $_[4] + 1, $_[3]);
    }

    return \@range;
}
