David,
> Thanks for the feedback. Below you'll find the results of
> nm -g /home/amec/netcdf-perl-1.2.4/src/perl/blib/arch/auto/NetCDF/NetCDF.so
The nm(1) output contained
> U ncabort
> U ncattcopy
> U ncattdel
which indicates that the netCDF library wasn't incorporated into the
netCDF-Perl perl(1) module.

Names for shared-libraries have the form "libXXXXX.so.i.j", where "XXXXX" is
the library name (e.g., "netcdf") and "i" and "j" are major and minor library
numbers, respectively. Names for regular (i.e., non-sharable) libraries have
the form "libXXXXX.a".
Set the environment variable LD_NETCDF to an ld(1) reference to the netCDF
library (e.g., "-L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf") and retry building the netCDF-Perl
package. The configure(1) script should use that environment variable to
reference the netCDF library.

Correct.

I'm not sure all this information is collected in one place.
