 =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
 
+By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal
+conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more
+talkative.
+
+When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected
+conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by
+C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>.
+
 When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event
 model it chooses.
