This error message is instructive; Lua is just telling you that your
myapp_Lua module is not found on the Lua module path. Is myapp_Lua.lua
in one of the these standard places?  If not, either move it there, or
read up about the LUA_PATH environment variable.

Another approach is something like:

lua -e "package.path='\\mypath\?.lua;'..package.path" -lmyapp_Lua ...

This works because Lua uses the value of package.path to match modules.
