Given the above, your perl(1) utility should be compatible with the
netCDF-Perl extension module.  Both use "-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE" and
"-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64".

In order to determine if the netCDF-Perl extension module is compatible
with the netCDF library, would you please send me the file "make.log"
from the top-level source-directory of the netCDF package.  If this file
doesn't exist, then send me the file "macros.make" from the top-level
source-directory of the netCDF package.

Steve Emmerson
