Lua To Unix Executable File?

Okay, so I was wondering if I could convert a .lua script to a Unix Executable with Mac OS X. Could that be possible? If so, how do I do it?

Adapted from the manual:

Lua scripts can be made into executable programs by using chmod +x and the #! form, as in

 #!/usr/local/bin/lua

The location of the Lua interpreter may be different in your machine. If lua is in your PATH then a more portable solution is

 #!/usr/bin/env lua

Try also srlua for instance. It's a tool for building self-running Lua programs.
