Fantastic. Thanks for the feedback (another trick to add to the list of Lua idioms :-))

If you want to call require, then you can do so in C:
lua_getglobal(L, "require");
lua_pushliteral(L, "mymodule");
lua_call(L, 1, 1);

I need to be able to load an existing lua C module from within a new C
module (from within it's luaopen_xxx function). The obvious parallel is
doing a 'require' in a lua script, but there doesn't (as far as I can find)
appear to be an equivelent C API.

I guess I could just do a lua_dostring(L,"require 'mymodule'"), but that
doesn't smell quite right.

Any ideas where I should look ?

Many thanks, Lawrie
