    # Unfortunately, splitpath's doc says:
    # The directory portion may or may not be returned with a trailing
+ '/'.
    #
    # Which 'may or may not' give us an extra 'null' member of
    # @dirs, because splitdir allows null directory names. 
    #
    # Hence this next line, purely for cleanup:

pop @dirs if ($dirs[-1] eq '');
