5.18 removed http://perldoc.perl.org/perldelta.html#Module-removals

See 
http://search.cpan.org/~bingos/perl-5.19.6/pod/perl5190delta.pod#Removed_Modules_and_Pragmata
 for upcoming 5.20 and 
http://search.cpan.org/~bingos/perl-5.19.6/pod/perl5160delta.pod#Removed_Modules_and_Pragmata
 for last release.

The removal of the aweful Switch module in 5.10 is probably famous…
