FYI, It looks like mod_wombat (provides Lua scripting for Apache web server) will be released as a core module (i.e. if you download the web server, you will get mod_wombat---no need to download it separately). As part of this change, it is likely the module will get renamed. Mod_lua is not really an option because there are several dead projects with that name and it is felt that changing the name of mod_wombat to mod_lua will be too confusing. FWIW, the current lead contender is mod_luau. Anyway I've not had as much time to work with this module as I'd like. The Google Summer of Code project involving mod_wombat never got anywhere (the student had to drop out). But if you are looking to use Lua in a web context, I recommend checking it out. Matt
