Challenge 195

Task 2: Most Frequent Even
Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar
You are given a list of numbers, @list.

Write a script to find most frequent even numbers in the list. In case you
get more than one even numbers then return the smallest even integer. For all
other case, return -1.

Example 1
Input: @list = (1,1,2,6,2)
Output: 2 as there are only 2 even numbers 2 and 6 and of those 2 appears
the most.
Example 2
Input: @list = (1,3,5,7)
Output: -1 since no even numbers found in the list
Example 3
Input: @list = (6,4,4,6,1)
Output: 4 since there are only two even numbers 4 and 6. They both appears
the equal number of times, so pick the smallest.
