I have this in some of my easyconfigs. It works for me with tcl modules, I
haven't tried with lua syntax. I think you could also use $HOME or $USER or
any other env var. It's not exactly what you ask of adding env vars which
are local to the module file but maybe it helps...
modextravars = {
'PYRO_LOOKUP_FILE': '\$EBROOTAMPLICONNOISE/Data/LookUp_E123.dat',
'SEQ_LOOKUP_FILE': '\$EBROOTAMPLICONNOISE/Data/Tran.dat',
}
