Hi, I have written small perl module and one script. In the constructor of the package, I am using one initializer method. The problem, I'm facing is: When, I create two different objects on the package, latest object's initialize methond is overwritting variables of previously created object. I dont have much knowledge on Perl. Unable to determine the cause. Requesting for some help. I am providing the code( of package and script and program output) below. thank you. 


#######################################3
package MyPackage;
use Data::Dumper;

sub new {
    my $ip_addr = shift();
    
 my $self = { "DEVICE_IP" =>$ip_addr };
 bless $self, 'MyPackage';
    
 $self->my_init();
 return $self;
}

my $self_ip = undef;
my $partner_ip = undef;

my $WS_1 = undef;
my $WS_2 = undef;
#----------------------
sub my_init{
    my $this = shift;
    ($WS_1, $WS_2 ) = ('10.199.35.11' , '10.199.35.12');
    
    if($this->{DEVICE_IP} eq $WS_1)
        { $partner_ip = $WS_2; }
    else{ $partner_ip = $WS_1; }
    
        $self_ip = $this->{DEVICE_IP};
    return $this;
}

#-----------------
sub my_method{
    my $this = shift;
    
    print "\n Local IP = $self_ip , Partner IP = $partner_ip \n";
    return 1;
}

1;

#My script is as below:

use MyPackage;

my $local_ip= '10.199.35.11';
my $remote_ip = '10.199.35.12' ;

my $objLocal =  MyPackage::new($local_ip); 

my $ret = $objLocal->my_method();

my $objRemote = MyPackage::new($remote_ip); 

my $ret = $objLocal->my_method();

# output observed is:
 
 Local IP = 10.199.35.11 , Partner IP = 10.199.35.12

 Local IP = 10.199.35.12 , Partner IP = 10.199.35.11

 
Because, I am calling the same old object again, I am expecting the ou
+tput to be:
  Local IP = 10.199.35.11 , Partner IP = 10.199.35.12

  Local IP = 10.199.35.11 , Partner IP = 10.199.35.12
