Robb,

Thanks!  I'll try the binaries and see how it goes.  I ran into troubles
with the source distribution of UDUNITS, so I figure I'll try the binary
distribution to save me some headaches.

Brian,

If the binaries are available, you could use them.  the decoders package
needs the libraries and include files for netcdf and udunits. I don't
think netcdf-perl is available as a binary though

Let me know of problems.
