Hi!

I have a perl script which produces some fvwm commands. The
commands also include m4 variables. Now, I'd like to include
the output of the script in my fvwm2rc file.

One possibility
would maybe be to use a 'PipeRead', but when I tried this,
the m4 variables don't seem to get processed.

Another possibility
would be to pipe the output of the script to a file, and then
use 'include(afile)' to include the output. I tried this:

Exec exec script.pl > out
include(out)

but then I get some errormessage "bin/sh: not found ..."?
Should this in principle work in this way (and maybe then
I have some path not correctly set) or should I do this
in a different way?

regards,

Jos.
