I were able to get it working with modulo. Here is the complete scrip we
are running since today and so far looks good. Any suggestion is welcome to
improve it.

I used modulo to pick the next owner. Besides that rest of the code is from
http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/AutoSetOwner

Description: Auto assign ticket on create
Condition: On Create
Action: User Defined
Template: Global template: Blank
Stage: TransactionCreate

Custom condition: return 1;
Custom action preparation code: return 1;
Custom action cleanup code:
# get out if ticket has a owner
return 1 unless $self->TicketObj->Owner == $RT::Nobody->id;

# gather the list of owners
my @owners = qw(
foo
bar
qaz
);

push(@owners, @owners);

# get a count for the owners
my $totmembers = scalar( @owners );

# get this ticket id
my $ticket_id = $self->TicketObj->id;

# ticket_id modulo totmembers to pick the next owner
my $x =  $ticket_id % $totmembers;
my $owner = $owners[$x];

# set the owner
$RT::Logger->info("Auto assign ticket ". $self->TicketObj->id ." to user ".
$owner );
my ($status, $msg) = $self->TicketObj->SetOwner( $owner );
unless( $status ) {
    $RT::Logger->error( "Impossible to assign the ticket to $owner: $msg" );
    return undef;
}
return 1;
