This is sample code that I created merely to test simple arrays of objects that I have created. Unfortunately, each time I push a new object onto the array (thus giving the array a new pointer to a newly created object) all other pointers in the array become identical to the last one. Here is the test code, below it is the test class. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Class2;
    
    $i = Class2->new();
    print "Element1 Definition:\n";
    $i->data("3.01.01", "Heloo");
    print $i->getMe(), "\n";
    
    $j = Class2->new();
    print "Element2 Definition:\n";
    $j->data("4.01.99", "Wow");
    print $j->getMe(), "\n";
    
    push (@stuff, $i);
    push (@stuff, $j);
    
    print "\nArray Contains:\n";
    
    $tmp = @stuff[0];
    $tmp->printClass();
    $tmp_date = $tmp->getDate();
    print "$tmp_date\n";
    print "Element1: ", $tmp->getMe(), "\n";
    
    $tmp = @stuff[1];
    $tmp->printClass();
    $tmp_date = $tmp->getDate();
    print "$tmp_date\n";
    print "Element2: ", $tmp->getMe(), "\n";

package Class2;
sub new
{
    $class = shift;
    my $self = {};
    bless($self);
    return $self;
}

sub data
{
    @_ == 3 or die 'usage: Class2->data( DATE, SUBJ )';
     ($me, $date, $subj) = @_;
    print "The Date is: $date\n";
    print "The Subject is: $subj\n";
}

sub printClass
{
    print "Your class type is $class\n";
    print "The Date is: $date\n";
    print "The Subject is: $subj\n";
}

sub getDate
{
    return $date;
    
}

sub getMe
{
    return $me;
}
return 1;
