Is it possible to execute bang commands (or somehow control litestep/modules) from perl?

I am trying to make a simple perl/Tk interface that calls bang commands like this "system(bangCommand)".

c:\LiteStep\LiteStep.exe !About

as long as you can do that...then yes.

Man, that is too easy. I used FVWM on Linux for a bit and was looking for something like a "litestepCommand bla bla" module.

Thanks - just what I needed. Where is that documented at?

its in the docs actually...

"!Bang Command Gives you the ability to specify bang commands on the command line. The bang has to be the last argument since everything following it is assumed to be the arguments for the !Bang Command.
litestep.exe !Confirm "Welcome to LiteStep" "Welcome" "

Where are these docs at? I used the installer and only see docs for the modules. The docs section of this website is not yet up. Is there somewhere else to get the docs?

That docs page is waay out of date but that is where I knew it was. I would say that 99%, if not 100%, of the LiteStep page are correct. Module docs haven't been updated to follow new features and its the classic method of theme installation so I would ignore those. But there is a lot of usefull info on that LiteStep page.
