Now I need to know the following: 1. Where are the installed, perl manual pages? For example, where is the file "perl.1"? Does it exist in the directory "/usr/local/man/man1/"? 2. What is the pathname of the installation directory of the netCDF package? Look for the files "netcdf.h" and "libnetcdf.a". Are they under the directory "/usr/local/" or under some other directory?
