Idiom #150 Remove trailing slash

Remove the last character from the string p, if this character is a forward slash /

$p =~ s{/$}{};

Use different delimiters { } to avoid having to escape / (the default regexp delimiter). Substitute a trailing / by an empty string.
{ local $/='/'; chomp $p }

Set locally-scoped $/ (a.k.a. $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR when you 'use English') to '/' so that chomp will remove a trailing '/' instead of the default "\n".
(clojure.string/replace p #"/$" "")

Ensure the regex has a $ at the end!
