Your perl utility was built with "cc" using the "-n32" option.  We'll
have to do the same for the netcdf-perl package.

Ok.  Now I need to know the following:

    1.  Where are the installed, perl manual pages?  For example,
        where is the file "perl.1"?  Does it exist in the directory
        "/usr/local/man/man1/"?

    2.  What is the pathname of the installation directory of the netCDF
        package?  Look for the files "netcdf.h" and "libnetcdf.a".  Are
        they under the directory "/usr/local/" or under some other
        directory?
