Bug Description
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_
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:
