Why does this return the same value from both objects? 
$baz=TESTME->new();
$foo=$baz->wibble();
warn "Foo is $foo";
sleep 5;
$bar=$baz->wibble();
warn "Bar is $bar";
warn "Foo is $foo";
print $foo->get();
print $bar->get();
print "\n";
exit;

package TESTME;

sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    my $self = {};
    bless ($self, $class);
    warn "In TESTME->new, created object $self in class $class";
    return $self;
}

sub wibble {
    my $self = shift;
    my $val = shift;
    my $object = undef;
    $object=TEST->new ;
    warn "In wibble, object $self val $val created object $object";
    return $object;
}

package TEST;

sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    my $self = {};
    bless ($self, $class);    
    $self{'date'} = `date`;
    warn "In TEST->new, created object $self, with date $self{'date'}"
+;
    return $self;
}

sub get {
    my $self = shift;
    warn "In TEST->get with object $self and date $self{'date'}";
    return($self{'date'});
}
