New to this so appologies if I'm doing something stupid.

Running the following:

use strict;
use WWW::Salesforce::Simple;


# Authenticate with the Salesforce

my $sforce = WWW::Salesforce::Simple->new(
        'username' => '*****',
        'password' => '*****'
) or die 'failed sf login'.$!;

my %lead=();

%lead = (
        'email' => 'testtestcom',
        'leadsource' => 'WebRegistration',
        'company' => 'TestCo',
        'country' => 'US',
        'firstname' => 'Test',
        'lastname' => 'Person'

);

my $result = $sforce->create(type => 'lead',%lead);

and get the error: 

> Missing entity type information. sObject requires a separate 'type' field be sent. at sf2.pl line 30

Any ideas?

While I'm at it, are there any decent docs on using Perl with salesforce with code examples of queries ,inserts & creates etc? There doesn't seem to be much around.

Thanks in advance.
