Why should it be documented?
If you ever turn it on, every sub call to a PP Win32::API sub will generate 1-3
pages of logs in your console. It has a 2nd counterpart, controlled separately,
in the C side called WIN32_API_DEBUG, which will also produce 1-3 pages of
logs. It needs a recompile, and can't be runtime controlled (and shouldn't due
to performance loss). The debugging code was added for authors/maintainers of
Win32::API to use when debugging a problem on a remote user's installation
where they can't step Perl or C code.
