Well, there was a bug in the older syntax file I used (the one from 2005), but
the newer syntax file I downloaded is fine. If you don't want to put the new
syntax file in your home directory (~/.vim/syntax/perl.vim), you can also put
it in /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/syntax/perl.vim. That directory should already
be scanned by default ... check the value of 'runtimepath' to be sure.

The indenting works fine for me, without installing any new indent scripts.
Have you enabled 'autoindent' and/or 'smartindent'?
