The test turns '/foo/' into '/foo', but avoids turning '/' into ''.

    True but that isn't in the psuedo-code that lacertus presents.

    His test would also leave a trailing slash on 'foo/bar/'. Is that what is required? Perhaps lacertus will tell us.

    If it is required then the following would suffice: 

        $served =~ s[/$][] if $served =~ m[^/.];
