The above message contained the following:

Good choice.

I just successfully built and tested the netcdf-perl package on
our Linux system.  I've enclosed the log.  You might look it over;
otherwise, I can't say much because I can't reproduce the problem.

The only notable difference seems to be the compiler: my perl was compiled
using "gcc" while yours seems to have been compiled using "cc".  I don't
how that could affect the results, however.  You might try the following:

    1.  Drop into the "perl/" subdirectory.

    2.  Remove the file "NetCDF.o".

    3.  Edit "Makefile": change the value of the CC macro to "cc".

    4.  Go up one directory.

    5.  Execute the command "make".

    6.  Execute the command "make test".
