	There is subtle trick you might pay attention.  Despite
the launcher you choose, CGILua always run from the beginning,
therefore, unless you decide to change the internal structure,
you will have to put the above code inside cgilua/config.lua.
This way, the code will be executed before CGILua decides what
handler to call.  Also you will have to register all the functions
there, for the same reason.

	You can do that but be careful because CGILua expects to
run in a clean environment.
