John,

I'm not aware of anyone who has or who might have installed
the netCDF-Perl package under perl 5.8.8.  You might try posting
an inquiry to the netCDF mailing-list <address@hidden>.

I'm not a perl expert; I don't know if such reverting instructions
exist.

Based on some Googling, please try the following: 1) go into
the "perl/" subdirectory; 2) edit the file "Makefile": change
"-undefined dynamic_lookup" to "-Udynamic_lookup"; 3) execute
the command "make clean"; 4) execute the command "make"; and
5) execute the command "make test".

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
