Probably this:

    my $instance = shift;  # settings to use
    $instance = {} unless $instance;

    Spot on sir. Face palm time. Thanks for pointing that out.

    Now I remove that extra my it all works as desired:

    Get instance called from main
Not yet instantiated
$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'Log' => 0,
                 'Screen' => 0
               }, 'Helper::Logger' );
Mon Dec 30 01:25:32 2019 Log1
Get instance called from main
Already instantiated
Setting new values
$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'Log' => 4,
                 'fh' => \*Helper::Logger::__ANONIO__,
                 'LogName' => 'CommandLine.log',
                 'Screen' => 0,
                 'LogDir' => '/home/random/log',
                 '_continuation' => 0
               }, 'Helper::Logger' );
$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'Log' => 4,
                 'fh' => \*Helper::Logger::__ANONIO__,
                 'LogName' => 'CommandLine.log',
                 'Screen' => 0,
                 'LogDir' => '/home/random/log',
                 '_continuation' => 0
               }, 'Helper::Logger' );

    Both nicely point to the same object. Perfect

    Thanks,
    R.
