functions in lua are just values. global functions are global values, that
you can get and call like this: (code for Lua 4.0.1)

lua_getglobal(pLuaState, sFunction);
if(lua_isfunction(pLuaState, -1))
{
   int num_params = 0;
   // push Params here, if num_params != 0
   lua_call(pLuaState, num_params, 0)
}
else
   errormsg("The value is nil or another non-function value!!");

also see the chapter "Calling Lua Functions" from the reference manual.

hope this helps.

Cheers,
Peter
