NetCDF Perl News & Announcements

Announcing netCDF Perl 1.2 for netCDF-3
October 24, 2007
Improved "make install" with respect to installation of manual pages.

Tried to clarify the fact that this extension-module is based on version 2 of the netCDF package.

Added "POLLUTE=1" to the perl command that creates the makefile in the perl/ subdirectory to ensure compatibility with the new naming convensions of perl 5.6.
