I pushed Text::Markdown & Text::MultiMarkdown version 1.0.17 to CPAN
late last night, and it's now indexed and you can see it on
search.cpan.org.

You can get it from:
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/B/BO/BOBTFISH/Text-Markdown-1.0.17.tar.gz

And if you'd like to browse the HTML documentation:
http://search.cpan.org/~bobtfish/Text-Markdown-1.0.17/lib/Text/
Markdown.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~bobtfish/Text-Markdown-1.0.17/lib/Text/
MultiMarkdown.pm

Salient features in this release:

- Refactored the internals so that Text::Markdown is a standalone
implementation which Text::MultiMarkdown extends without all the
hideous copy-pasting of code (or the 'original brand' Markdown being
a thin wrapper on MultiMarkdown with features disabled). Also removes
quite a lot of copy & paste code from within Markdown itself, by
extracting a number of things into their own methods so that they can
be appropriately overridden / reused.

- Bundled Markdown.pl and MultiMarkdown.pl scripts in the
distribution. These are not installed by default (or if the module is
installed non-interactively), but are present if you say 'Yes' to
them during install. These should be compatible with the original
Markdown.pl

- Runs faster than the pervious version as some regular
expressions have been optimised.

For those who are interested, a more detailed changelog is bundled
with the release.

Cheers
Tom
