add a character at the end of a string

rsennat has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hi all,

i need to add a character "/" at the end of the string, only if its missing.

   my $string = "/tmp/check";      # append / at the end
   my $syring11 = "/tmp/check/";   # dont append /
