Me again.  Now my ua2nc decoder stopped working.  It creates netcdf
files, but without data in them (only the variable descriptions show up
when viewed with ncdump).

Here's a snippet from a log file:
 Opening data/newton/upperair/02120500_perl_ua.nc with ncid 3
 perl/netCDF record mismatch at decoders/ua2nc line 351, <STDIN> chunk 1.
 Wmo =03953, Type =TTAA, Rpt: 0500, Trans: 0500, recput =-1
 ncvarget: ncid 3: Edge+start exceeds dimension bound
 NetCDF::recget result = -1
 perl/netCDF record mismatch at decoders/ua2nc line 351, <STDIN> chunk 2.
 Wmo =03953, Type =TTBB, Rpt: 0500, Trans: 0500, recput =-1
 perl/netCDF record mismatch at decoders/ua2nc line 351, <STDIN> chunk 5.
 Wmo =71907, Type =TTAA, Rpt: 0500, Trans: 0500, recput =-1
 ncvarget: ncid 3: Edge+start exceeds dimension bound
 NetCDF::recget result = -1
 perl/netCDF record mismatch at decoders/ua2nc line 351, <STDIN> chunk 6.
 Wmo =71907, Type =TTBB, Rpt: 0500, Trans: 0500, recput =-1
 ncvarget: ncid 3: Edge+start exceeds dimension bound
 NetCDF::recget result = -1
 perl/netCDF record mismatch at decoders/ua2nc line 351, <STDIN> chunk 8.
 Wmo =70133, Type =TTBB, Rpt: 0500, Trans: 0500, recput =-1
 ncvarget: ncid 3: Edge+start exceeds dimension bound
 NetCDF::recget result = -1

In another log file, things look more dire:

 > more uaLog.302357.log
 Syntax error: ")" unexpected
 ncopen: filename "data/newton/upperair/yy:yy)mm:mm)0100_perl_ua.nc": No
 such file or directory
 Opening data/newton/upperair/yy:yy)mm:mm)0100_perl_ua.nc with ncid -1
 Month '-1' out of range 0..11 at decoders/ua2nc line 898

More path problems?  Here's the entry in pqact.conf:

 DDS|IDS ^U[ABDEFGHIJKLMPQRSTXZ].... .... ([0-3][0-9])
         PIPE    decoders/ua2nc
         etc/ua.cdl

John,

Sorry for the delayed response.  The problem probably is ua.cdl has been
replaced with raob.cdl.  That's one problem with the perl decoders, it's
hard to modify the netcdf output format if the cdl changes.

Robb...
