That was not a good reply from me.
loader.preload["socket.core"] = afunction
When you execute require"socket.core" the function at this
table entry is executed. To quote the manual
"To find a loader, first require queries package.preload[modname].
If it has a value, that value (which should be a function) is the loader."
So in your case, I believe that you need
loader.preload["socket.core"] = luaopen_socket_core
e.g.
lua_getfield(L, LUA_GLOBALSINDEX, "package");
if (!lua_istable(L, -1)) { /* no such field? */
luaL_error(L, LUA_QL("package") " must be a table");
return 0;
}
lua_getfield(L, -1, "preload");
if (!lua_istable(L, -1)) { /* no such field? */
luaL_error(L, LUA_QL("package.preload") " must be a table");
return 0;
}
lua_pushcfunction(L, luaopen_socket_core);
lua_setfield(L, -2, "socket.core");
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, DB's reply has me confused. Let me see if I have this
right: package.preload["socket.core"] should be a function that returns
the function luaopen_socket_core when it is called?

Hi,
the result of calling the function. That is, what is in the preload
table entry should return a lua_cfunction that is
luaopen_socket_core.
My apologies... Looks like my previous post was wrong. No wonder
people didn't manage to get this working.
[]s,
Diego.
