I promote the use of this for Unix shell script invocation:
#!/usr/bin/env lua
print('I am '..arg[0])
This way, it will find whichever lua is first in your execution path,
and run that. Other people running your script, which may have their
own version of Lua, will be using theirs instead. And people who
don't have their own copy of Lua will use the system one at
/usr/bin/lua .
I completely agree. This is the way I run all mine. Seems much easier in terms of portability.
