That's a big price to pay just to get the date. You should look into
using a perl module for it instead (or localtime).

You also shouldn't be creating a new template object each time. You
should do it once and then reue it. And the CACHE_SIZE parameter is not
related to the problem you're having so don't set that to 0.

That means the problem is in your perl code, so you can take TT out of
the picture. Try just printing that value each time.
What you probably have is an unintentional closure. You can either stop
using Apache::Registry and write normal modules, or change the way your
subroutines are coded. I'm guessing %GlobalData is a lexical variable
which you delcared outside of the sub that it's being used in.
For more help with this, I'd suggest you post a small snippet of code
that illustrated the problem on the mod_perl mailing list.
