First hit for "lunar lua c++" on the Web shows up as
http://lua-users.org/wiki/CppBindingWithLunar.

>From that:
| lunar.h has two extra public methods: push and call.
|
| push receives a pointer to an object and pushes a unique [1] userdata
| onto the stack, and returns the stack index of this userdata. An
| optional second parameter specifies whether or not to delete the
| object when the userdata gc event occurs. The default for this
| parameter is false which means the object won't be deleted.

Is that not working for you for some reason?
