no VERSION for PDL::NetCDF in cpan shell

[chm]

Trying to use the cpan shell to install the PDL::NetCDF
module fails because the cpan shell does not show the
existing version:

cpan[1]> i PDL::NetCDF
Module id = PDL::NetCDF
    DESCRIPTION  Reads/Writes NetCDF files from/to PDL objs
    CPAN_USERID  DHUNT (Douglas Hunt <dh...@ucar.edu>)
    CPAN_VERSION undef
    CPAN_FILE    Contact Author Douglas Hunt <dh...@ucar.edu>
    DSLIP_STATUS RdcOp (released,developer,C,object-oriented,Standard-Perl)
    INST_FILE    (not installed)

Doug has tried multiple variations to submit the
module via PAUSE with no luck.  Who should we
contact to debug this issue?

Thanks in advance,
Chris Marshall
