Yes, there is math.mod(a, b):

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.0/manual.html#5.5

math.fmod() is new in Lua 5.1, which Pipmak doesn't use yet. bit.mod()  
is not part of the standard libraries that come with Lua and are  
included in Pipmak.

As that page says, "a few functions differ slightly in Blizzard's  
implementation", so in general you're better served by the Lua 5.0  
manual (link above) for the standard functions and the Pipmak manual  
for what Pipmak adds to them, than by documentation about World of  
Warcraft or other applications that use (possibly modified versions  
of) Lua.
