I just looked over the HISTORY file for NetCDFPerl (URL http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf-perl/HISTORY). It appears that this problem was fixed last June and that you have an old version of NetCDFPerl. I suggest that you obtain the latest release from URL http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf-perl/ or ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf-perl/netcdf-perl.tar.Z Please let me know if this helps. -------- Steve Emmerson <address@hidden>
