Hi

Given this perl file:

    sub test {
        exec '/bin/echo',
            'Your arguments are: ', @ARGV;
    }
    
    sub exec_fcn {
    }
    
        sub other {
        }

The 'sub other' is indented incorrectly (and all code following it).

The fix is in cperl-after-block-and-statement-beg to not match exec_, i.e. we should
not treat exec_fcn as a builtin. Attached is the fix.

Thanks,
John
