I'm completely new to Perl, so please be gentle. I generated a mojolicious app with the command mojo generate app first-app. It generated the app structure that should allow a running example when running the dev server with morbo ./script/first-app.

The file structure looks like this: https://i.postimg.cc/wBBd4GFv/Screenshot-from-2019-10-12-09-09-42.png

My error when running morbo ./script/first-app in the root of the project directory is this error:

Can't load application from file "/home/djnorrisdev/Documents/mojo-pra
+ctice/first-app/script/first-app": Can't find application class "firs
+t-app" in @INC. (/home/djnorrisdev/Documents/mojo-practice/first-app/

I tried using the full path for morbo (as mentioned in a 6 year old SO post), but that gives the same error as above. That command was this: /home/djnorrisdev/perl5/perlbrew/pls/perl-5.30.0/bin/morbo ./script/first-app

Running morbo script/first-app gives the same error.

I'm guessing anyone familiar with a full mojolicious app would be familiar with the script file, but here's the contents of script/first-app: 
#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Mojo::File 'curfile';
use lib curfile->dirname->sibling('lib')->to_string;
use Mojolicious::Commands;

# Start command line interface for application
Mojolicious::Commands->start_app('first-app');

Considering this is a mojolicious-generated app, I would assume it should not get an @INC error and run with morbo without issue. Does anyone have insight into this?

Edit: I forgot my env info. I'm on ubuntu 18.04LTS and am using Perl 5.30.0. I do have perlbrew installed also, and all my editing is done in vscode.
