Assuming we're talking about the master branch (i.e. upcoming version
1.1), then you need to add "helloworld" to the 'sdirs' configuration.
In line 250 in Configure, you will find this line:

    $config{sdirs} = [

Simply add "helloworld" to the values you find following that line.

Assuming we're talking about the version 1.0.2 series, then the
procedure is approximately the same.  There, you have to look up this
line in Makefile.org:

    SDIRS=  \

... and add helloworld to its values.

Cheers,
Richard
