If you have already been installing certain PDL modules, it will overwrite those with a (PDL consistent) set of modules.
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you use MacPorts, it installs under a different location for perl! if $ which perl gives you /opt/local/bin/perl ..then you've installed mac ports, and you've had perl installed on top of that. SciKarl uses the Apple perl, which is in /usr/bin/perl. You won't notice a difference unless you don't use #!/usr/bin/perl at the top of your PDL scripts. In the install bundle, I've added a file that lists ALL the files installed onto your computer. It's not as good as a proper uninstall routine, but it's better than nothing.
