PDL::NetCDF, version 0.30 Allows reading and writing of NetCDF files into and out of PDL objects. The following are required for installation: -- PDL version 1.10 or 1.11. Will likely not work on v2.0 alphas. You are welcome to try, however! -- perl 5.003 (or later) -- NetCDF version 2.3.2, patch level 4 or later The first two are available on CPAN. The third is available from UCAR UNIDATA at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/index.html INSTALLATION: Once the above are installed, edit the Makefile.PL to add the lib and include paths for your machine's NetCDF installation: On my Sun Solaris machine, these are the correct values: $netcdf_lib_path = '/opt/local/lib'; $netcdf_include_path = '/opt/local/include'; On many other UNIX flavors, the correct paths may be /usr/local/* Once this is done, do the normal perl extension thing: perl Makefile.PL make make test (as root) make install Best of luck!
