The second edition has a chapter about it (and that chapter is
available online at http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/pil2/).

Also the Lua Programming Gems book contains information about the
package system. For example the last gem (I wrote it) is about
searchers and how to add new ones.

All the information is in the manual in a condensed form, feel free to
ask questions on this mailing list.
