You didn't include your code, so I have to guess what it looks like
(its not part of lua, for sure).

If alt_getopt.lua uses module() at the top, and the second argument
isn't package.seeall, then it can't see the globals (print is a global
function). Either add package.seeall or precede the module() call
with:

local print = print
module("mymodulename")
