Howdy Amol!

Once you have netCDF installed (yum install netcdf) you can use the ncgen 
command to create a netCDF file from a CDL text file. This can be done without 
any programming on your part. For more info, see the tutorial:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-tutorial.html

If you are one of those (like me) who wants to start with an example, there is 
a CDL example here:

Good luck!
