Well, then I should give you the whole thing. I simplified some things, 
the real solution would be:
= bindata.lua =
module"bindata"
function data()
return "whateveryouneed"
end
= usebindata.lua =
local bindata=require("bindata").data()
print(#bindata)
for i=1,#bindata do
    print(i,string.byte(bindata,i))
end
= Makefile.mak =
all:
    luac -s -o application.luac bindata.lua usebindata.lua
+ end +
