No, there is no C bridge, it is pure perl.

You can't write modules in language X without first implementing some
kind of fvwm module library in X. This may take many months, even if you
just borrow the design from the perl module library (that should highly
simplify the task), or you choose another path and implement a highly
pared library for simple modules only. You may try if you are ready to
get such errors twice a day and are able to solve them on your own.

The developer section of fvwm.org includes all the info you need.
Theoretically, you don't need to learn the fvwm sources, but practically
this may help in your task.

Regards,
Mikhael.
