Ari,

Something is wrong with my installation here.  When I tried to run 
test.pl it said that it could find a loadable module for gdalconst, 
despite the fact that gdalconst.pm is in my @INC list.  I think in my 
effort yesterday to get around the compilation failure of gdal_wrap.cpp, 
I fouled up the installation.  I think I need to step back, and start fresh.

I worked on the assumption yesterday that to get the Perl bindings built 
and installed that I would do these steps from the gdal base directory 
(I also use netCDF)...

./configure --with-netcdf=<path to netcdf> --with-perl
make
make install

Is that incorrect?  If those are indeed the right steps, then I need to 
figure out why gdal_wrap.cpp fails to build.

Matt
