I'm writing a package in OO style which use XML::Parser and its callbacks. I put the callbacks in the 'new' subroutine. 
Package Report;

sub new() {
 my $self = {};     
 bless($self);    
 
 [...]
 
 $self->{tree} = ();

 my $p = new XML::Parser(
  Handlers => {
   Start => \&handle_start,
   Default => \&handle_char,
  }
 );
 $p->parsefile($my_file);

 sub handle_char() { 
  # ... update $self->{tree}
 }
 sub handle_start() {
  # ... update $self->{tree} 
  print Dumper \$self->{tree}; #dumper 1
 }
 print Dumper \$self->{tree}; #dumper 2
 
 return $self;
}

When I want to use it, it only works for the first : 

my $r = new Report('file1');
#all is good
$r = new Report('file2');
# Dumper1 shows the first tree updated with the data of the second 
# and dumper2 shows nothing (undef)

I see that the second object uses the same tree of the first object.
How can I do that code work? Or is there a better design?

Thanks for your wisdom.
