I get a different error in a similar environment:

    $ uname -srm
    SunOS 5.8 sun4u
    $ perl -v

    This is perl, v5.8.0 built for sun4-solaris

The error that I get has been seen before with perl 5.8.  No one seems
to know what the problem is.  I'm going to investigate it today.

In the meantime, you might try rebuilding the netcdf-perl package
against perl 5.8 (if you haven't already).  I suspect that might 
transform your problem into mine.
