Copy-S3Object changing variables outside its module scope

[Matrikss]

Consider the following code:

$Version = 'myversion' 
Write-Output "VERSION: $Version" 
$s3Object = Copy-S3Object -BucketName $S3AWSBucketName -Key $S3AWSDirectory/$S3FileName -LocalFolder $env:temp -AccessKey $S3AWSAccessKeyId -SecretKey $S3AWSSecretAccessKey -Force
Write-Output "VERSION: $Version"

Expected Behavior VERSION: myversion VERSION: myversion

Current Behavior VERSION: myversion VERSION:

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs) Put the code above on a .ps1 file and execute in a new Powershell console. The first execution will give the above behavior, the subsequent ones don't suffer from it. The command needs to execute correctly, doesn't show the above behavior in case of failure.

Context This broke our Infrastructure as Code framework and caused a very strange debug session to identify the cause.
