After changing this it all worked for me with the command:

DestroyMenu MenuDotFiles
AddToMenu MenuDotFiles
+ DynamicPopUpAction PipeRead "$HOME/.fvwm/bin/fvwm-menu-dotfiles.pl
MenuDotFiles"

and having the first line of output to the PipeRead command contain the
line:
        DestroyMenu recreate "MyMenu"

Thanks!

I think it is nice to call scripts to do stuff like that,... a matter of
preference i guess
