lifted from compat-5.1:
--
-- looks for a file `name' in given path
--
local function findfile (name, pname)
name = gsub (name, "%.", LUA_DIRSEP)
local path = _PACKAGE[pname]
assert (type(path) == "string", format ("package.%s must be a string",
pname))
for c in gfind (path, "[^;]+") do
c = gsub (c, "%"..LUA_PATH_MARK, name)
local f = io.open (c)
if f then
f:close ()
return c
end
end
return nil -- not found
end
