netcdf/perl interface and CHAR variables

Hey Folks,
I actually asked this question about 10 years ago and saw my reply/answer on the web, but I need something more exact.
I'm using the latest netCDF/Perl interface and it works great, except for one thing: writing CHAR variables. 

Say I have this:                @array = qw ( dog bunny goat);

and I'd like to to this:

                NetCDF::varput($ncid, $varid_pets,      \@start, 
\@count,\@array );
Of course this doesn't work. NetCDF treats strings as arrays, and Perl treats them as scalars. So, what *exact* codelet would I need to get this ncdump partial result?: 

        pets = 'dog', 'bunny', 'goat';

thanks,
-Steve Diggs
