Looking for tester for EPUB software

Hi,
I wrote some Perl software to make EPUB books from Markdown files. Markdown is a simplified language to you can focus on writing, instead of XHTML. I'm looking for 1-2 testers for this software.

- You will have to install Perl on your machine. It's for any OS that supports Perl. I develop it on a flash drive using Strawberry Perl.
- You will have to know how to unzip a .ZIP file.
- It comes with a 00readme.md file with instructions.
- I'm looking for feedback on how to improve the program, and feed back on bugs.
- It's free software.

Let me know and I will PM you a Dropbox link.

Features
  1. It supports only Title and Author in metadata at this point. I'm looking for what other metadata it should support.
  2. Almost all the Markdown is supported. But authors should not be doing anything fancy as most ebook readers only support basic tags.
  3. An additional feature is added called Quicklinks. Anything that begins with "http", "https" or "ftp" in between < and > is a Quicklink that will be converted to an XHTML link. Example: <http://www.google.com>.
  4. In the build (.BLD) file is where you list all your source (.MD) files, images, and CSS files along with meta data.
  5. It supports multiple CSS files.
  6. It supports multiple MD (Markdown) source files. The order they are listed in the Build file is the order they will appear in the EPUB.

Thanks.
