Plack-Middleware-TrailingSlash

Redirect to a path containing the trailing slash if the path looks like a directory

The Catalyst Perl MVC framework matches the requested URL to an action both with and without the trailing slash. For example both /company/contact and /company/contact/ go to the same action and same template.

This module redirects the requests without the trailing slash (ie. /company/contact) to the same URL with the trailing slash added (ie. /company/contact/).

Advantages:

• relative links and references work reliably
• search engines will not see duplicate content

Alternatives:

• Use <base href> in every response.

TODO:

• Proper usage documentation (perldoc)
• Publish in CPAN
