Following the tutorial at BUILDING AN APPLICATION FROM EXISTING APPERL everything works until this step:
Now, you may still wish for your application to be run, even if the executable is renamed. Add default_script to your config to set a fallback script: 
  "default_script" : "/zip/bin/hello"
Where exactly does that line belong? Adding it to apperl-project.json causes the error "Failed to find APPERL_DEFAULT_SCRIPT" when doing "apperlm build" again: 
{
   "apperl_configs" : {
      "my_nobuild_config" : {
         "desc" : "description of this config",
         "base" : "nobuild-v0.1.0",
         "dest" : "perl.com",
         "zip_extra_files" : { "bin" : ["src/hello"] },
         "default_script" : "/zip/bin/hello"
      }
   },
   "defaultconfig" : "my_nobuild_config"
}

I've tried adding it to the other two "logical" places in apperl-project.json and also in .apperl/o/user-project.json, without getting any errors, but it still does not work. By "work" I expect that after adding "default_script" and running "apperlm build" again that running the newly built ./perl.com would run that script, without having to type "./perl.com /zip/bin/hello" and that it will work if even the perl.com is renamed.
