Boy, was I stupid... Thank you! It works now with the following snippet:

if ( $body =~ /^!setq\s*$/ ) {
  my @order = ("orange","peach","banana");
  $self->set("fruit_order"=>\@order);
  my $o= $self->get("fruit_order");
  my $ou= "order: ".join(", ",@$o);

  return $ou if (ref $o eq 'ARRAY');
  return "no order :(";
}

Why it didn't work before, you ask? Well, if you look closely you'll find that I tried to use return with an array. It will not dump the contents of the array into the channel though but expects a scalar (so it sent a 0 for an empty array and a 3 for the above example). I had to use string concatenation and a helper variable first to get return to paste the contents of the array.

Works now, thanks again!
