Markdown running on a string

Currently it doesn't seem possible to run Markdown.pl from the command
line on a string. How difficult would it be to implement this? I'd like
to be able to run Markdown on multiple text fragments that aren't written
to disk. Writing them to disk is possible, but a huge bottleneck.

Something along the lines of..

% perl Markdown.pl "1. test\r2. test\r3. test\r\rThis is new paragraph."
