[TxMt] MultiMarkdown in TextMate

[Lewis Overton]

For those of us who are real dummies, but fans of Markdown, could you
elaborate on where to put what to get MultiMarkdown (MM) to work with
Textmate (TM)?

I downloaded MM and stashed it in ~/Library/Application
Support/Textmate/Support/bin.
I put MM in ~/Lib ... /Bundles and called it Markdown.pl. I copied a chunk
from the demo and tried to preview it. Got lots of "can't find" errors.
Maybe I can puzzle this out but if you have a minute or so, a few hints
would be really helpful.
