Hello, I work with scientific data mostly, and have written perl scripts to manipulate, collect, sort, and transmit this scientific data. I am now trying to write a script that'll convert the data from a NetCDF file to an ASCII text file. I've found the NetCDF perl module on CPAN but there's little to no documentation with it. The only documentation I have is the Linux man entry for the NetCDF C++ library (which the perl module uses).

I could always write the program in C++ but well, I'd rather get it done in perl. My question is has anyone here had any experience with the perl NetCDF module or knows where there's some good documentation about it? I'll admit now, I haven't throughtly searched for any docs but I have kind of skimmed the surface. I figured I'd ask here first and see if anyone had first-hand experience with the module and could tell me if it even works well or not.

Thanks,
Dustin
