Uhm, you know that `qw` does not interpolate, right? So that line
will assign the literal strings '$user_id' and '$blog_id' into
@args, not the contents of the variables $user_id and $blog_id.
That would be why your IDs are invalid… just basic Perl stuff,
nothing to do with Catalyst.

The square brackets in the POD (which I think they are a really
bad stylistic choice there) mean that these arguments are
optional, not that you should pass those parameters inside an
anonymous array. I think you are looking for

    my @caps = ( $user_id, $blog_id );
    $c->go( '/user/blog/entry/list', \@caps );

or just

    $c->go( '/user/blog/entry/list', [ $user_id, $blog_id ] );
