Bill,

Thanks for sending the ncdump(1) output.

I don't think you're passing-in the right dimension ID array-argument to
varinq().  The argument needs to be a reference to an array rather than
the array itself (i.e. it needs to have a "\" prefix.  Try changing the
line

    $status = NetCDF::varinq ( $ncid , $var_id , $cdummy , $type , $ndims ,
                               @dim_ids , $idummy );

to

    $status = NetCDF::varinq ( $ncid , $var_id , $cdummy , $type , $ndims ,
                               \@dim_ids , $idummy );

and see if that works.
