which are C modules.



Lua on Parrot comes already with several external libraries :
	alarm
	bitlib
 	lfs
	md5 & sha1
These libraries are written in PIR (Parrot assembler) like the whole of Parrot on Lua. In the case of md5, the C native implementation comes from libcryto (a part of libssl), the wrapper is writting at the Parrot level, so it could be used by any language over Parrot.

deployment of Lua scripts.
