Howdy,

I'd like to be able to read FVWM's environment variables from an outside
script. I can set variables with:

FvwmCommand Foo bar

And can pass through to another script by doing something like this:

FvwmCommand Test (EnvIsSet Foo) Exec somescript $[Foo]

But I want to be able to do set/get from the same script.  Is there a
way to do this with one of the perl modules perhaps? I've looked at the
documentation for Fvwm::Module and Fvwm::Command and a few others and
haven't seen quite what I'm looking for yet.

I can make this work using the passthrough method above, forking and
read/writing a FIFO but that is really sloppy, and I'd rather not go in
that direction.  The other option is use Fvwm::Module, but I'm not sure
that it will inherit the environment namespace of FVWM.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Matt
