perl mode automatically indents substantially off to the right following the
first sub definition that has an odd number of '$' characters in the argument
spec, eg.:

	#!/usr/bin/perl -w

	sub add_funds($) {
	    return 0;
		      }

The closing brace should be against the left margin, but isn't because it
seems that perl-mode interprets '$)' in the sub line as being a variable
expansion and not a variable spec and a closing bracket.
