Hello,
Unfortunately the perl-doc-html maintainer orphaned the package last year
so it was removed so that it didn't reflect the wrong version of perl
shipped in that release.
It won't be possible (even if there was the will from someone)
to add it back to Debian 10 after the fact due to Debian's release
policies. There are some ideas about how to get it back into Debian in
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=907974> and
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=907273> so if someone
wanted to work on that it could be restored for Debian 11.
Since I last looked at this it appears there has been some work in
revitalising perldoc.perl.org which had itself fallen into unmaintained
mode if I recall.
If anyone would be interested in working on this please ping me so we
can discuss if/how it should be integrated into the perl packages.
Cheers,
Dominic.
