I would suggest looking into setfenv.

More specifically:
-- f <-- the function
-- env <-- the environement
setfenvReturnsToo = setfenv(f,env) -- but it also modifies the function it is given

For compatibility reasons, load should be used instead where possible.

To expand on what apemanzilla said, getfenv and setfenv are Lua 5.1 features, and will be removed from CC at some point, when the full update to Lua 5.2 is completed.

It combines loadstring and setfenv.
load(string,mode,env)
load(string,mode,env)

Lua 5.2 has come out. As has 5.3. The thing is that CC uses Lua 5.1

I mean, will be setfenv removed, when CC uses Lua 5.2?

Yes. There's no equivalent to setfenv in 5.2; it's not possible to code your own substitute.

The answer here provides a pretty good example case as to when the new structure might serve better:

Whether or not that specific sort of thing was involved in the actual decision, I dunno.
