I don't think they were ever installed, maybe during several days between
2.3.1 and 2.3.2:

* utils/Makefile.am: don't install fvwm_make_browse_menu.sh until
we have some consensus on _where_ to put it.
They are not distributed since 2.3.7, I think.
As for me, I prefer simply to give an url. Run for example:
fvwm-perllib man tutorial
There is a link to test modules. they are not even distributed,
although it is pretty difficult to learn perllib without them.

Mikhael.
