The "loading cache" message from the configure script means that it used
the settings from a previous execution.  In order to start from scratch,
you must do a "make distclean" before executing the configure script and
ensure that the file "config.cache" does NOT exist.

Would you please do the following to give me more information:

    1.  Send me the output from the command "perl -V".

    2.  Go to the top-level source directory of the netcdf-perl package.

    3.  Execute the command "make distclean".

    4.  Ensure that the file "config.cache" does not exist.

    5.  Execute the "configure" script.  Redirect standard output and 
        standard error to the file "configure.log".  Send me the file
        "configure.log".
