Thanks for your reply. I made that line up and you're right - it would lead to an array reference. Sadly though, this wasn't the problem. Both of the following snippets don't work, they both return 0:

if ( $body =~ /^!seto\s*$/ ) {
        my @order = ("pea","plum","banana");
        $self->set("fruit_order"=>@order);
        my @o = @{ $self->get("fruit_order") || [] };
        return @o;
}
if ( $body =~ /^!seto\s*$/ ) {
        my @order = ("pea","plum","banana");
        $self->set("fruit_order"=>\@order);
        my @o = @{ $self->get("fruit_order") || [] };
        return @o;
}

As I digged a bit deeper into the according modules I couldn't find any example of an array being stored and retreived. Could it be possible that storing arrays is not supported by the module?
