    There are some hilarious edge/pathological cases which Markdown.pl doesn't get
    right, but for the most part it works and if the places where it doesn't work
    are offensive, there are literally dozens of other implementations out there
    that have been tweaked more recently than Markdown.pl

    He's got a Perl implementation that works for him, and there are many
    other implementations that are basically compatable with his code &
    test suites.   There's not much he needs to do, so why should he run
    around and do busywork?
