It's not clear to me what the problem is, but I suspect an incompatiblity
between your perl5 installation, your netCDF-Perl installation, and
(possibly) the netCDF installation.  I suggest that you rebuild the
netCDF-Perl package from scratch and execute it's "make test" command to
see if that might fix the problem.  The following steps should do it.

1.  Go to the top-level source-directory of the netCDF-Perl package.

2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

3.  Set the environment variable CC to "gcc" and the environment variable
CPPFLAGS to "-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64".

4.  Execute the configure script.  Redirect the standard output and
standard error streams to the file "configure.log".  Send me that
file if an error occurs.

5.  Execute the command "make".  Redirect the standard output and
standard error streams to the file "make.log".  Send me that
file if an error occurs.

6.  Execute the command "make test".  Redirect the standard output and
standard error streams to the file "test.log".  Send me that
file if an error occurs.

7.  As the superuser (root) execute the command "make install".

Please let me know if this helps.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
