Several of you pointed out that leading whitespace was the culprit.  This
whitespace is tabs automatically inserted by Alpha in Perl mode, so I
didn't give it a second thought.

Many thanks for the help.  I thought I should point out that "helpful"
editors (and Alpha is certainly that) may introduce characters without
benefit of keystrokes by the author.  Beware.
