MacPerl::Ask gives you only one option.  I think you want MacPerl::Pick.
And you need to pass an array, not a scalar, and not a reference to an
array, but a real array.

$list = " 'Option 1' , 'Option 2' ";  #scalar
$list = ['Option 1' , 'Option 2'];  #reference to an array
@list = ('Option 1' , 'Option 2'); #array
$list = \@list;  #also a reference to an array

MacPerl::Pick('Select from this list',@list);
