Ha ha. My copy of PIL hasn't arrived yet so I didn't catch that when I looked online.

Hi Russel,

I should have mentioned that my code was meant for Lua 5.1. In Lua 5.1.
it works perfectly with your sample conf file (an no, the extra ","
doesn't hurt and doesn't need to be removed).

For Lua 5.2 and Lua 5.3. you simply have to replace 'loadstring' with
'load'.

Cheers,
Valentin
