I'm failing badly at trying to store an array into the store of Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module (storage should be provided by Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Store). It must be trivial for many of you to just look it up and guide me along but I tried looking into the examples, source and documentation and got nowhere so I'd be thankful for any help and pointers.

I tried in a module which gets loaded by a Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable object:

package Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::MyModuleName;
use warnings;
use strict;
use base qw(Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module);

sub init {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->config(
        {
            fruit_order     => ["apple","lemon"],
            is_weekend      => 0
        }
    );
}

sub admin {
   my ($self, $msg) = @_;
   my $who = $msg->{who};
   my $body = $msg->{body}; 
   
   if ( $body =~ /^!setorder\s*$/ ) {
     my @order = ["orange","pea"];
     $self->set('fruit_order'=>\@order);
     return "order set";
   }

   if ( $body =~ /^!getorder\s*$/ ) {
     my @order = @{ $self->get('fruit_order') || [] };
     return @order;
   }
}
1;

...but this doesn't work. The !getorder command never shows any order from the storage - neither when called first (should be filled with "apple" and "lemon") nor when called after the !setorder command (should now be filled with "orange" and "pea").

Setting a scalar value (is_weekend) is straight from the documentation and should work, but how do I set() and get() an array in there? Thanks for your help!
