BTW: yes, I know that AxKit is still downloadable off CPAN.
However, the docs therein are often in a "To Be Done" stage,
referring to the online docs & mailing lists at axkit.org all over the
place.
I didn't mind it while AxKit was online, but now it is not, I just
can't work with AxKit without the reference material -
the necessity to open the source every now and then is too taxing.

Some of the material is available in the "axkit.org" subdir of
the distro - where the xml source of the docs is located.
I never tried to set it up to work locally, though - always went
to axkit.org for the rendered version. 

Maybe, it's high time to thoroughly catch up on the docs now, 
and make a new AxKit release - just with the docs update?
Or, if you don't have time to, but have these lists offline, maybe 
you could package a snapshot (maybe as a separate fake
perl module, if you don't want to increase the AxKit bundle)?
Also, a quick-start on localizing hte axkit.org for local man browsing...
