missing perl utilities like find2perl, a2ps, s2ps

[latimerio]

What has happened to those perl utilities find2perl, a2p and s2p ?
These utilities are normally a part of perl distribution, but they now seem to be stripped off on Ubuntu.
They used to be part of perl-doc until perl-doc_5.18.2-2ubuntu1_all on ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
I do not see the reason why these valuable tools are not supported on the later Ubuntu revisions.

They have been removed upstream from perl core in the 5.22 release:
