This is identical to the previously announced PDL-2.4.10_001
release except that a broken commit which was causing
build failures has been reverted. Thanks and let me know
if you see any other issues or have feedback...

Release Notes for PDL 2.4.10_002 --------------------------
General Notes:
* Rerelease of PDL-2.4.10_001 with reverted PROJ commit
to enable build to complete for File::Map testing to
occur.
- It is a snapshot of the current git development tree
and everything may not work correctly or have complete
documentation.
- These release notes may not be fully complete. Please
see Changes (from the git log) for full details.
- All tests may not pass, especially ones corresponding
to issues in Known_problems.
- Manual build/install is recommended although the
cpan shell may be used by specifying the distribution
path rather than just the module name, e.g.:
cpan> get CHM/PDL-2.4.10_002.tar.gz
cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.4.10_002.tar.gz
cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.10_002.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.10_002.tar.gz
Highlights:
* See notes for PDL-2.4.10_001 below.
