[Maypole] A different trailing-slash problem

Most of the trailing-slash problems discussed here have to do
with the construction of proper links in the various templates.
Mine is a more prosaic, Apache-style trailing-slash problem.

I have an application based at http://www.mysite.com/application .
My httpd.conf sets up the PerlHandler with <Location>/application...
and my uri_base is http://www.mysite.com/application/ (with the
trailing slash, so I can get all the other links right).

I'm interested in the _single_ case of hitting the front page.
If I enter http://www.mysite.com/application/ (with slash), I
go through to my frontpage template. But if I leave the slash
off, I spin my wheels forever.

Is there a Maypole way to have the slash-less URI work? Or is
this purely an Apache issue? If so, what's the proper way to
do the Alias or Redirect or whatever?

Thanks.
