That's a deliberate omission.

It's not on the official export list for Haskell 1.4 so it's not
exported from the Hugs prelude.

The idea behind this is that someone might have a perfectly good
GHC/HBC/NHC program that defines their own foldl' function which
wouldn't run on Hugs if Hugs exported its own foldl'.
This is an especially big deal with the Prelude because Haskell
requires us to silently import the Prelude into every single
module.
