The specified module could not be found - LUA C API (oops - no HTML)

Guys and Gals,   

I am trying to make a couple of stubs for LUA C API lib calls in Cygwin, 

   #define LUA_LIB 
   #include <lua.h> 
   #include <lualib.h> 
   #include <lauxlib.h> 


   static int l_pkghandler_decrypt(lua_State * L) { 
      // return success 
      lua_pushinteger(L, 0); 
      return 1; 
   } 

   static int l_pkghandler_verify(lua_State * L) { 
      // return success 
      lua_pushinteger(L, 0); 
      return 1; 
   } 

   static const luaL_Reg pkghandler_funcs[] = { 
      { "decrypt", l_pkghandler_decrypt }, 
      { "verify", l_pkghandler_verify }, 
      { NULL, NULL } }; 

   LUALIB_API int luaopen_pkghandler(lua_State * const L) { 
      luaL_register(L, "pkghandler", pkghandler_funcs); 
      return 1; 
   } 

When I try to run it in lua (5.1 from Eclipse) as this, 

   local function main() 
      package.cpath = "E:\\proj\\pkghandler\\Release\\?.dll;"..package.cpath 
      print(package.cpath) 
      ph = require "pkghandler" 
   end 

   main() 

I get, 

   E:\proj\pkghandler\Release\?.dll;.\?.dll;.\?51.dll;E:\programs\jre\bin\?.dll;E:\programs\jre\bin\?51.dll;E:\programs\jre\bin\clibs\?.dll;E:\programs\jre\bin\clibs\?51.dll;E:\programs\jre\bin\loadall.dll;E:\programs\jre\bin\clibs\loadall.dll 
   Exception in thread "main" com.naef.jnlua.LuaRuntimeException: error loading module 'pkghandler' from file 'E:\proj\pkghandler\Release\pkghandler.dll':

Seems like it is finding the file, but I don’t know why it cant “find” the “module”.  I have compared to several examples online and it looks like it is correct.  I am using Cygwin to compile LUA nad my library module on Windows.  I tried both the 'mingw' and 'posix' targets when I compile 'liblua.a'.  I am running Eclipse (CDT + LDT). 

I would appreciate any pointers.
