For what it's worth, here's how I do putenv() on Windows:

int
lputenv(lua_State *L)
{
        int n = lua_gettop(L);    /* number of arguments */
        if (n != 1) {
                lua_pushstring(L, "wrong number of arguments to function `putenv'");
                lua_error(L);
        } else {
                if (_putenv(lua_tostring(L, 1)) != 0) {
                        lua_pushstring(L, "calling function `putenv' failed");
                        lua_error(L);
                }
        }
        return 0;
}

And then add

        lua_register(L, "putenv", lputenv);

after creating your Lua state and before invoking your Lua program.
And use it like

        putenv "env_var=value"

Thanks. That is a great example. I will use it later.
