Updating Orion.WorldMap.Point via the Perl SDK

Question

I've been playing with the new world maps with doing the creating, updating and deletion of points via the Perl Orion SDK. I've had success with creating points with the following:

my $data = $self->{_swis}->Create("Orion.WorldMap.Point", {Instance => 'Orion.Nodes', InstanceID => $node_id, Latitude => $lat, Longitude => $long} );

However not having much success with with updates or deletions as both of the following:

my $data = $self->{_swis}->Update($self->{_swis_url} . "/Orion.WorldMap.Point/PointId=$point_id", {Latitude => $lat, Longitude => $long} );

my $data = $self->{_swis}->Delete("swis://localhost/Orion/Orion.WorldMap.Point/Instance=Orion.Nodes,PointId=$point_id");

produce the following error: 
 Invalid key properties specified for entity Orion.WorldMap.Point.&#xD; 
 Anyone got any pointers? I've got quite a large amount of location data to import and then allow updates to be carried out from our CMDB. And I also notice it's create multiple pointers for the same node. Cheers, Jon

I think you need to specify the primary key to object created -- what is returned in the URI from a swql Studio query...

eg swis://xxxx/Orion/Orion.WorldMap.Point/Instance="Orion.Nodes",InstanceID=12

leads me to think this might work:

my $data = $self->{_swis}->Update($self->{_swis_url} . "/Orion.WorldMap.Point/Instance="Orion.Nodes",InstanceID=12", {Latitude => $lat, Longitude => $long} );
