Well, this function "." was only intended for non-preprocessed configs,
it adds an optional preprocessing to some given lines only.
If you preprocess the whole file, you don't need this function ".",
all lines are preprocessed statically anyway. But you may want this
function for dynamical preprocessing then, for example (syntax for cvs):
DestroyFunc .
AddToFunc .
+ I SendToModule FvwmPerl preprocess -c --quote * -- $*
Next (XTerm) . Exec xmessage *{ $[w.x] + $[w.y] }*

The man page suggest (I will make it more clear):
ModuleSynchronous FvwmPerl
With simply "Module", the SentToModule command happens before it's ready.
