As Bob points on, Markdown.pl is not written as a proper module.
It's really only meant for standalone/plug-in use at this point. The
only reason it has "package Markdown;" at the top is to make
Blosxom's plug-in API happy.

At some point in the future, I hope to release a Markdown.pm to
CPAN. That's down the road, however.
