Help with unfixable error

I am at wit's end. I hope it is OK to post this here, because this seems
to the only ActiveState mailing list with any activity.
 
Anyway, this is Perl v5.8.8, and I am getting this error message:

    syntax error at cron.pl line 599, near "sub checkPaths"

The subroutine is just a stub and it looks like this:

598  sub checkPaths
599  {
600  }

I have warnings on, but not strict because I inherited this code and
there is so much in it that will not pass strict.

Lastly, I have removed the contents of every subroutine preceding this
one, including the main loop, as well as the subroutine that immediately
follows with no change (except line number) in the error message.

My question is, with this kind of error, what should I look for?

Tx,

Barry Brevik
