Try

   nTag = lua_newtag(pLuaState);
   lua_pushusertag(pLuaState, pMyPointer, nTag);
   lua_setglobal(pLuaState, "VariableName");

where nTag is an integer, pLuaState the state you created using lua_open().

VariableName is the name of the global and pMyPointer the pointer you want
to store as userdata in it.
