I'm not certain I understand your question.  The file "netcdf.pm"
is installed in the perl(1) installation and it does not need to be
executable.  For example:

    $ ls -l /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/NetCDF.pm
    -r--r--r--  1 root root 1668 May 20  1997 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/NetCDF.pm

I suggest that you rebuild and reinstall the netcdf-perl package.
Execute the command "make install" as yourself.  If, and only if this
fails, then become root and re-execute the command "make install".  Do
not execute the commands "make clean", "make distclean", or "make
realclean" between these two "make install" attempts.

If this fails, then please send me the output from the two "make
install" attempts.
