Is there any convenient function like module(...) for returning a function from a module?

["Journeyer J. Joh" <oosaprogrammer@...>]

Hi (hopely Steve Donovan),

I've been told that a module can return a function instead of a normal table.

PIL introduces a function module(...) which is same with below:

local modname = ...
local M = {}
_G[modname] = M
package.loaded[modname] = M
<external values setting to reach from this module>
setfenv(1, M)

This returns normal table.

I want my module return a function.

For my particular case, Is there any convenient function like module(...)?

And if there is not such a function,

I'd like to find a sample code for a module returning a function.

Sincerely

Journeyer
