Hm, don't you consider Perl a separate process? In addition, don't I need
environment variables to interface with perl?
Also, is there some reason to avoid environment variables? If I avoid name
clashes by prefixing them all with eg. FVWM_ then I believe that shouldn't
cause any trouble.

To be honest, I don't like that preprocessing stuff. Some standard FVWM
expressions do always collide with the preprocessor.
