I'm sorry, it should be more clear: that section refers to Lua 5.2 specifically. It remains a slightly tricky problem with Lua 5.1, which can be solved non-portably using shell tricks
My fault!I've seen the section «what's new in 5.2», and thought «cool, i'll read this later. But for the moment, ctrl+f to find if popen is in the faq».
At least, that's a nice feature for Lua5.2 and an argument to switch :)
