I think a version.pm with the line
$VERSION = '4.07'
and then changing the VERSION_FROM argument to the
WriteMakefile() call to 'version.pm' instead of
'netcdf.pd' should work (or something is really
wrong with the indexing).

The thought was that the $VERSION check *might* not
care about the name of the file and, if so, the
problem could be the other processing being done
in the netcdf.pd file. By putting the $VERSION
declaration at the top of the netcdf.pm file, I
was hoping to get it picked up correctly.
Changing the $VERSION = '4.07' to $VERSION = $PDFILE_VERSION
in the pp_addpm() call later in the file would then
duplicate the version information in the generated .pm
file output.

You could also just try to "Force Reindexing" from the
PAUSE page:
https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=reindex
and if that fails (again), follow the directions on that
page to contact [email protected] with the problem.
Presumably, that would get you in contact with someone
who could actually figure out what is going on on the
PAUSE/CPAN end...
If you do contact them, please feel free to cc me or the
pdl-porters list so we can all understand the issue. :-(
Good luck,
Chris
