If the file has changed it will overwrite it.  Otherwise it won't bother
since it would be a no-op.  'make install' will do that by default.  How is 
it not overwriting?

UNINST=1 has nothing to do with that.  'make install UNINST=1' deletes
all copies of the files elsewhere in your @INC path (aka 'shadowing')
so they don't interfere with your newly installed version.
