Well, I don't see anything that would cause a problem.  But that might
indicate ignorance rather than confidence.

In general, it's a good idea to use the same compiler to build the 
netCDF, perl, and netCDFPerl packages.  You might try using "gcc" to
build the netCDF and netCDFPerl packages.  You also might try upgrading
your perl to the latest version and building it with the same compiler
that built the netCDF package.

You might also try executing the failed compilation command from your
previous email manually to see if you get a better error message that
just "*** Error code 2".  The failed command is

/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -c -I/home/jthom/netcdf-3.5.0/include -I/usr/local/include 
-O     -DVERSION=\"1.21\"  -DXS_VERSION=\"1.21\" -KPIC 
-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/sun4-solaris/CORE  NetCDF.c

Execute it in the perl/ subdirectory.
