Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Manually edit the file perl/NetCDF.c: change all occurences of 
        "na" to "Perl_na".

    3.  Perform steps 6 through 9 near the end of the INSTALL file.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.  According the the output from the
"perl -V" command, your perl was compiled with "cc -n32" (rather than
"mips").

"cc" is sufficiently conforming.
