I was able to duplicate your problem by using perl version 5.005003. A
more recent release (version 5.6.0) however, didn't have any problems.
I suspect that porting the netCDF-perl package to more recent releases
of the perl package resulted in a backward incompatibility.
Is there any chance that you could install a more recent version of
perl?
BTW, I would never use /usr/ucb/cc for anything.
