It's difficult to say, exactly, what the problem is.  It does look,
however, like there's an incompatibility between perl and the netCDF
extension module.  I know that HP-UX systems support multiple processor
architectures (PA-RISC 1.x, PA-RISC 2.0).  It could be that perl was
compiled using one architecture (PA-RISC 1.x?) a while back, then the
compiler changed to use a different architecture (PA-RISC 2.0?).  If
this is true, then the solution will be to use the same architecture for
compiling all three packages (perl, netCDF, netCDF-Perl).
