+If your perl was configured with C<-Accflags=-DPERL_MEM_LOG>, setting the
+environment variable C<PERL_MEMLOG> enables logging debug messages. The
+value has the form C<< <number>[m][s][t] >>, where C<number> is the
+filedescriptor number you want to write to, and the combination of letters
+specifies that you want information about (m)emory and/or (s)v, optionally
+with (t)imestamps. For example C<PERL_MEMLOG=1mst> will log all
+information to stdout. You can write to other opened filedescriptors too,
