No problem.

I might make this a little more flexible for handling single vs. 
multiple queries, perhaps:

my $query = { ... };

or

my $query = [ ... ];

as appropriate, and then

my $envelope = {
   waypointQuery => {
     query =>  $query
   }
};

should handle either case correctly.

You will also need to inspect the results, if you take that approach, to 
determine if the response is singular or plural, but that’s pretty 
straightforward.
