The NetCDFPerl extension module for perl uses the netCDF 2 interface
rather than the netCDF 3 interface.  So need to use the NetCDF::varput()
method instead of NetCDF::putvarsfloat (which doesn't exist).

This is documents in the NetCDFPerl README file, which is also available
at the following URL:

    <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf-perl/README>

See the "netCDF-2 vs. netCDF-3" section.

The netCDF 2 API can be found at the following URL
