Because b<array> and b<hash> are internally decleared and creating special mutators/handlers they will be not create scalar handlers, 
but 'scalar' and '_anything_here' will create scalara mutators, as they are forwarded to the default scalar handlers; both are internally not explicitly defined. 
The mechanism is extendable, see L<Class::Maker::Basic::Fields>.

=head3 private => href

All properties in the 'private' section, get a '_' prepended to their names.

 private =>
 {
   int => [qw(uid gid)],
 },

So you must access 'uid' with $obj->_uid();

 public =>
 {
   int => [qw(uid gid)],

   string => [qw(name lastname)],

   ref => [qw(father mother)],

   array => [qw(friends)],

   custom => [qw(anything)],
 },
