I'm only familiar with the C API, not much with the bindings.

There is this: SVN::_Core::svn_uri_canonicalize

The script:

use SVN::Core;
my $uri = SVN::_Core::svn_uri_canonicalize("http:////svn.example.com//foo/bar///");
print $uri."\n"

prints "http:///svn.example.com/foo/bar"
(Why 3 slashes after "http:" instead of 2? I don't know. It seems our test
suite doesn't cover this case. I'm not sure what's expected.)

I suppose _Core (with leading underscore) is a private namespace.
I don't know why this isn't part of the public SVN::Core:: namespace.
It probably should be.

Unfortunately the bindings are badly maintained and documentation is
almost non-existent :(
