I think this declares an array of PkgNameArrays, but "has
@.tmpl_set_nms is PkgNameArray;" will do what you want.

S12:
Attributes are never visible outside a class definition, so a multi
method can only directly access the attributes of a class it's defined
within. However, it may call the private attribute accessors from a
different class if that other class has indicated that it trusts the
class the multi method is defined in:
class MyClass {
trusts Yourclass;
...
}
(end quote)
So for the relationship to work both ways, each class would have to
mark the other as trusted.
