I have a similar setup here and NetCDFPerl builds just fine.  Here are
the details of my system:

    $ uname -a
    SunOS gilda.unidata.ucar.edu 5.6 Generic_105181-05 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2
    $ type cc
    cc is /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc
    $ type perl
    perl is /opt/bin/perl
    $ perl -version
    This is perl, version 5.004
    ...
    $ cat /upc/netcdf-perl/src/VERSION
    1.2
    $ cat /upc/netcdf/src/VERSION
    3.4

You have a different version of the operating system, but that shouldn't
matter.  Is there anything else in the above that differs from your
environment?  Could you, perhaps, be obtaining an old version of the
netCDF library?

I'll look into why they're not online.  I don't think there's anything
about this problem, however.
