Hi, all.

I'm having a relatively simple problem, trying to trim stuff off the end 
of a URL.

INPUT:
http://www.wilbert.net
www.worful.com/after-text.htm
http://www.winston.com/argle.htm
www.windoze.net

DESIRED OUTPUT:
http://www.wilbert.net
www.worful.com
http://www.winston.com
www.windoze.net

Presently I'm trying the code:

if ($site =~ m{[^:/]/.*$}) {
   $site =~ s{/.+}{};
}

which gives me the output:
http://www.wilbert.com
www.worful.com
http:
www.windoze.net

Obviously I'm doing something wrong for the third string, but I've pulled 
out two or three hairs by now, trying to fix this.  Anybody care to take a 
shot?

TIA
