Returns undef if the given utility was never in core or remains in core.\n\n\"removedfrombydate( UTILITY )\"\nTakes a UTILITY name as an argument, returns the first perl version by release date where\nthat utility was removed from core. Returns undef if the given utility was never in core or\nremains in core.\n\n### DATA STRUCTURES\n\nThese are the hash data structures that are available:\n\n%Module::CoreList::Utils::utilities\nA hash of hashes that is keyed on perl version as indicated in $].
