Obviously, any good leader operates under
the assumption that the people being led
are astonishingly gullible. This has proven
to be a fair assumption throughout history,
as demonstrated by the fact that many leaders
have not been assassinated.

It's with great pride that the AxKit development team announce AxKit2 version 1.1.
We've ironed out all those rough edges. We've built production ready apps with it. We've tested it with bullets (and not just blanks).
So go forth, download, and enjoy. Available in the usual places. May take 24 hours to mirror everywhere (CPAN and Apache mirrors).
