Looks like it's only in perldelta.pod. Removal seems to be targeted for 5.30.

  https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/perl/pod/perldelta.pod#Module-removals

  https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/perl/pod/perldelta.pod#Updated-Modules-and-Pragmata

Using these modules issues a deprecation warning in 5.28, and I'd expect
them to get eject soon in the 5.29 series.
