If this is all thie script prints it can't work. You have to
define a menu first to which the menu entries are added.
Otherwise the lines may be added to a random menu or even a
fucntion. Try to replace the first '+' with
"AddToMenu <menuname>".
This may be a bit consusing. With the '+' command, you can add
items to the last menu or function that appeared in an AddToMenu
or AddToFunc command. If the initial menu definition is followed
by any other such commands, fvwm forgets it has ever added to the
MenuDotFiles menu. The DynamicPopUpAction is executed when you
open the menu, not when it is defined. A whole lot may happen in
between.
If you still can't make it run, post the perl script and all
relevant config lines.
