It looks like the @INC array of your "topo.pl" script doesn't include
the directory into which the netcdf-perl module was installed, namely

    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux/auto

Instead, the @INC array contains directories with "5.8.0" as a
component.

Try modifying the invocation of your "topo.pl" script so that it
includes the "5.8.6" directory in its @INC array.
