If your markdown.pl lives at (say) /usr/local/bin/markdown.pl, you need to run
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/markdown.pl
The +x sets the 'execute' flag so the shell knows to try to run what looks like a text file. Otherwise, you need to run it with "perl /usr/local/bin/markdown.pl".
You can check if you did it right by running
/usr/local/bin/markdown.pl -v
from the shell. If you get a version, you should be okay from TM. If you get the permission denied thing, you probably messed up the chmod +x. You can check the file flags with
ls -l /usr/local/bin/markdown.pl
which should give you some r,w,x and - signs all grouped at the front. If there are some x's then you set the flags correctly. For instance, mine looks like "-rwxr-xr-x".
Hope that's helpful. - Eric
