I haven't heard of flua scripts before. Where can I find more information on this script language?

Thanks in advance.

Flua is an implementation, written in Lua, C and Nasm, of a variant of Forth.

So if you google flua it is very confusing.
That is why I, just a Jay Carlson, do not refer to what we use here as flua.
What we do use here is Lua-Fltk which was developed by Jay Carlson. It is a full Lua 4.01 language with a binding to the Fast Light Tool Kit.
So try googling Lua 4 and Lua Fltk.
You will find a manual for Lua 4 and Jay Carlson's Lua Fltk site.
His examples are sparse. I have written many Lua program within DSL both as non gui script and GUI
Also, user mikshaw put together a UCI template with many examples.
Lua is a very fast language for general scripting. It small size is amazing. Jay Carlson's Lua-Fltk is the smallest GUI scripting environment that I have found.
You will find Lua is used widely in the Gaming Industry with many C interfaces. Here, you will find that I use Lua for general scrpting. IMHO it is very nice.
Have Fun.

I wasn't aware that there was another flua project....I'll be sure to specify Lua FLTK from now on.

Lua FLTK homepage
Lua 4.0 manual
Lua has progressed to version 5 and beyond, but Lua FLTK was built using Lua 4

Hey thanks for the tips!

I now have another question... I noticed that the CGI.pm is missing from perl. Is there a myDSL extension that has the full perl modules?

Once again thanks in advance (just in case I get busy and don't have time to send out a thanks).

Hey, Black_Onikage....chill with the personal attacks.  That's all you've been doing, and it isn't accomplishing anything useful.
