Help with variable reference in perl OOD

I need to be able to set a variable equal to the value of an OOD
reference such that when the reference changes, the the variable
changes as well (usually accomplished with: $var = \$other_var), but
when I do this "$var" references the HASH entry for the object, not
its value stored. Ex:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$Data1 = object ("data");

print "$Data1->{'VAL'}\n";
$temp=\$Data1->{'VAL'};
print "$temp\n";

sub object {
        my $objAddress={};
        $objAddress->{'VAL'}=shift;
    bless ($objAddress);
    return ($objAddress);
}

If you run this bit of code the output is:

> temp
> SCALAR(0x40016c2c)

So clearly $temp isn't being assigned the value stored in
$Data1->{'VAL'}, which is what I want (and I want $temp to change with
$Data1->{'VAL'} changes). This is my first endeavor in perl OOD and
I'm stuck. Please help!
