Okay. So here's what I found. Used to be, if I issued
luarocks unpack luamodule
If there wasn't anything in the current directory with that name, LurRocks
would search, download then unpack the module in the current directory.
That's the behavior I am expecting. It wouldn't matter if the module was
installed or not, that's how it would work.
Now though, it appears that if $HOME/.cache/luarocks DOES NOT EXIST, I get
that behavior. But, as it is created during the process, further attempts
to unpack ANY module will unpack the module in
$HOME/.cache/luarocks/<repository>/ and NOT move it to the current
directory.
