isn't that changed in 5.1? afair, 5.2 main change is _ENV stuff
...which directly impacted the coding of modules by eliminating setfenv() (sp?) and module(), the latter of which was used in almost all pure Lua 5.1 modules. There were also significant breaking changes to the C functions for setting up extension modules, which now force (if compatibility with both 5.1 and 5.2/5.3 is desired) the use of #if/#else/#endif directives to take a different code path for 5.1.
