Global Variables

[Michael Elliott <melliott42@...>]

Hello,

I am using Lua 5.1.3.  It is my understanding from the
docs and Google that all Lua variables by default are
global but it does not seem this way.

I have a common package that I wish to initialize some
global variables.

If call the module from a parent script (via require
"myscript.lua") then print the value of the the
variables from the parent script they are nil.

If I try to set them from a function in the "required"
module they are still nil.


What can you suggest?

Thanks,

Michael
