That figures: www.lua-users.org/wiki/SplitJoin

To keep things simple, I copied strsplit() into funcs.lua and imported
the script through dofile():
===============
dofile("funcs.lua")
...
execs = io.open("execs.txt","r")
while true do
	...
	libs = strsplit(",",libs)
===============

However, strsplit() uses strfind() which triggers this error: "attempt
to call global 'strfind' (a nil value)".

Does Lua require some extra step when importing code from external
scripts, eg. namespace issue or something?
