you're thinking about it from the wrong side.

- CGILua is NOT a library for writing CGI scripts.
- CGILua is a CGI that uses (your) Lua scripts to do its work.

IOW: the web server calls the CGILua launcher (CGI, mod_lua, FastCGI, anyone), 
the launcher will parse the query and call your script to do the interesting 
work.

therefore, your script will have the cgilua API already available.  also, 
there's no need for the "#!/bin/lua" line, since it won't be 'executed' by 
the system.
