Because "set VAR=VALUE" is the MSDOS method to set variables.

In a Bourne shell you have to write:

        LUA_PATH="/usr/local/share/lua/5.0/?.lua;?.lua"
        export LUA_PATH

With modern versions you can combine that into a single statement:

        export LUA_PATH="/usr/local/share/lua/5.0/?.lua;?.lua"
