I'm not a Windows software developer, so I ended up using a package
called Cygwin to compile NetCDF and UDUNITS for Win32.

CygWin provides a Unix-like environment that runs under Win32
(95/98/NT).  It can be downloaded for free, there is a version of Perl
for it, and it's possible to compile NetCDF and UDUNITS under CygWin
using gcc and g77.

    http://www.cygnus.com/cygwin/

You can probably find Perl 5 for Cygwin at www.cpan.org.

I should be able to provide you with NetCDF and UDUNITS binaries
(w/ Perl interfaces) for Cygwin in the near future.  I've done it
before, last October, but I need to rebuild for the more recent
versions of Cygwin.

Does that help?
