Hi Cathy:  I maintain the PDL::NetCDF library, which interfaces with the 
Perl Data Language extension for perl (see http://pdl.perl.org/).  This 
gives much higher performance than the normal perl netcdf interface since 
compact 'PDL' objects (n-dimensional matrices) are passed back instead of 
perl arrays (stored internally as high-overhead linked lists).

I've just received a contribution from a user of a patch to 
PDL::NetCDF to add netCDF-4 support.  I've yet to test it out, but this 
will probably mean basic netCDF-4 support will be available in PDL::NetCDF 
within a few weeks.

Regards,

   Doug Hunt
