The above settings look reasonable.

I suspect that you're running into some sort of 32-bit mode vs. 64-bit
mode incompatibility and that certain compiler or linker options
are inconsistent between building the Perl, netCDF, and netcdf-perl
packages (though I have to admit that I don't see it from the above).
Do you know if the "+z" option was used to compile the perl package?

Also, is your HP-UX system a 32-bit or 64-bit one?

Check your ld(1) manual page.  Does it have options for linking in
32-bit mode vs. 64-bit mode?
