RE: How to unload script.

["Jerome Vuarand" <jerome.vuarand@...>]

The garbage collector will figure out by itself. When there are no more references to a lua value, it will be garbage collected. So you have to explicitly remove all references to objects created by the loading of your file. If you use modules in the Lua 5.1 package model, loaded with a call to require, you can do:

package.loaded["module.name"] = nil

Make sure you use the exact same string you passed to require. Even if there are submodules in your module name, there are no subtables to package.loaded.

What say to GC that the some.lua wasn't usefull again? Time? The code expire?
