That's because you're stuffing an array in a scalar.  Or trying.  Do this:

my @options = qw/1 2 3 4 5 6 7/;
$c->stash->{myoptions} = \@options;

Or, for a literal translation of your first code:

my $options = [ qw/1 2 3 4 5 6 7/ ];
$c->stash->{myoptions} = $options;

Note the differences.

While you're at it, try "perldoc perlreftut" and "perldoc perlref" for
more information on references.

Good luck.
