Hi John:  Sorry, in haste I did not update the README.

You need a recent version of HDF5 installed when you install netcdf-4
in order to get the recent netcdf 4 capabilities.

So, what I did was download HDF5:

http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.8.3.tar.gz

and compile and install it in (say) /usr/local

then download netcdf-4.0:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/ftp/netcdf-4.0.1.tar.gz

and compile and install it.  There is a configure flag you need to set:

./configure --with-hdf5=/usr/local --prefix=/usr/local

Finally, install PDL-NetCDF:

export NETCDF_EXTRALIBS='-L/usr/local/lib -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5 -lz'
export NETCDF_INCDIR=/usr/local/include
export NETCDF_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib
perl Makefile.PL

Regards,

   Doug
