  I would recommend it over Perl or Python.

  Which is much better.

  If rlm_lua is in 3.1, I would mark Python and Perl as deprecated.  "Use at your own risk".

  The nice thing about Perl is CPAN.  It has so many libraries that it's insanely useful.  The sad thing about Perl is that compiling 100K of code from CPAN is slow.
