Simple and painless solution for your existing scripts would be to
have both lua-5.1 and lua-5.2 installed on your system. Link
/usr/bin/lua to lua-5.1 and all your old scripts will work as before.
Lua installation is quite small and you will not fill up your
harddrive because of two Lua versions present:-)
