I'm comparing multiple lists with List::Compare repeatedly without creating a new List::Compare object for each new comparison. It appears that List::Compare is returning the result of the first comparision.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use List::Compare;

my @one = qw( 384 425 );
my @two = qw( 384 425 466 507 548);
my @three = qw( 466 507 );
my @four = qw( 666 999 );

my $lc = List::Compare->new( \@one, \@two );
my @intersection = $lc->get_intersection;

print "Out 1: @intersection\n";

$lc->new( \@three, \@two );
@intersection = $lc->get_intersection;

print "Out 2: @intersection\n";

$lc->new( \@four, \@two );
@intersection = $lc->get_intersection;

print "Out 3: @intersection\n";

Here's my output:
Out 1: 384 425
Out 2: 384 425
Out 3: 384 425

It should look like this:
Out 1: 384 425
Out 2: 466 507
Out 3:

Is this a bug? I didn't see it in the documentation for List::Compare, but do I have to flush the lists out of the List::Compare object first? Or do I have to create a new object for each new comparision.

Edit:
Perl version = 5.8.7
List::Compare version = 0.32
