I'm afraid that I have no idea what you're talking about. We do have
a Perl extension module interface to the netCDF package. It's called
NetCDFPerl and we created it ourselves. It, however, doesn't know about
"PDL", "SMOKE", or "FDESC3".

If the creators of the Perl module that you're using won't help, then
I'm afraid you're on your own.
