Requiring relative modules

[Ignacio Burgueño <ignaciob@...>]

Hi. I'd like to know if the following is doable with Lua 5.1.3

I have a directory in my package.path, say c:\packages, like this:
C:\packages\?.lua;C:\packages\?\init.lua;

and the following directory structure (best seen with a fixed width font):


c:\packages
   |
   *-- apps
         |
         *-- login
               |- init.lua
               |- validator.lua

so, require"apps.login" loads init.lua
In init.lua, the module definition is
module(...)

since I may move the package 'login' to a different place (I cannot 
assume module("apps.login") will be valid)

Although I can require 'validator.lua' using
require( select(1, ...) .. ".validator" )

is there a way to do that by default?

Regards,
