For 5.1 download from LuaRocks repo; 
http://www.luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/luasocket-2.0.2-5.src.rock 

The .rock file is a zip archive that you can unpack

Any temporary location

Replace the existing rockspec with the one I sent

> run luarocks build luasocket-2.0.2-6.rockspec

Or 'make' instead of build... not sure about that one
