The loading of modules (DLL or not) is usually done with require(), and when using Lua 5.0 a reasonable option is to use Compat-5.1. Compat offers to Lua 5.0 the "module system" of Lua 5.1 where things are usually easier to do both from the loading point of view and from the module integration aspect.
