In v1 at least, Dancer treats a URL with a trailing slash as different from one that lacks a trailing slash.  If you want Dancer to respond to both, you either have to define a route handler for each separately, or you have to resort to trickery:

    https://www.mail-archive.com/dancer-users@dancer.pm/msg01115.html

This is broken, IMHO, as it violates the expectations of anyone coming from a world where URL components are matched the same way as static files.  That is to say:

    http://example.com/foo

and

    http://example.com/foo/

will both serve $DocumentRoot/foo/index.{html,php,asp,whatever}.
