>Look at lposlib.c you can read :

For Lua 5.0, you should use the version at
	http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/

Here is the code you need. It's simple and can be made simpler by inlining 
storeindex.
--lhf

static void storeindex(lua_State *L, int i, const char *value)
{
	lua_pushstring(L, value);
	lua_rawseti(L, -2, i);
}

static int Pdir(lua_State *L)                   /** dir([path]) */
{
        const char *path = luaL_optstring(L, 1, ".");
        DIR *d = opendir(path);
        if (d == NULL)
                return pusherror(L, path);
        else
        {
                int i;
                struct dirent *entry;
                lua_newtable(L);
                for (i=1; (entry = readdir(d)) != NULL; i++)
                        storeindex(L, i, entry->d_name);
                closedir(d);
                return 1;
        }
}
