The point data that the Unidata TDS serves is currently being decoded by the netcdf-decoders package:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/decoders/index.jsp
which uses the netcdf-perl library:
https://github.com/Unidata/netCDF-Perl/blob/master/README.md
The decoders and the netcdf-perl library have been deprecated and have some issues with them that need to be addressed.
Rather than addressing them in their current implementation, we should totally remove reliance on these decoders for data that we serve through the TDS.
