I just noticed that your script has a non GNU GPL compatible license.
(Or maybe it is compatible, hard to say, this is not really important.)
Not only this disallows the script to be included into fvwm in one or
another form, but I think this is not legal. Since this script depends
on the GPL'd library FVWM::Module, it should be GPL'd as well.
Of course, any private usage of the library for any purpose is welcome,
the issue only becomes relevant when you start distribute your script
(that happens to be an fvwm module) to others.
I hope you will correct the license.
Regards,
Mikhael.
