Naveenta: I have used netCDF with both C and perl on DEC alpha with
no problems. One point: the perl library sits on top of the C library,
so there is no conflict. libnetcdf.a is used for C code, but it is
also compiled into the perl netCDF module.
You can use the perl netCDF module from the unidata page, but
I would encourage you to look into PDL::NetCDF, which is a more
natural (IMHO) interface to netCDF from perl using the PDL (perl data
language)
which allows one to manipulate Dense, N-dimensional, typed matrices in
perl
quickly and efficiently.
For more info, see:
http://pdl.perl.org/ or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdl/
and visit CPAN (the perl archive network) for PDL::NetCDF:
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/PDL/
