# Perl REST API to Process Presentation in Cloud
This repository contains Aspose.Slides Cloud SDK for Perl source code. This SDK allows you to [process & manipulate PPT, PPTX, ODP, OTP](https://products.aspose.cloud/slides/perl) using Aspose.slides Cloud REST APIs in your Perl applications.
You may want to check out Aspose free [PPT to PDF](https://products.aspose.app/slides/conversion), [PPT to Word](https://products.aspose.app/slides/conversion/ppt-to-word), and [PPT to JPG](https://products.aspose.app/slides/conversion/ppt-to-jpg) converters because they are live implementations of popular conversion processes.
## Presentation Processing Features
- Fetch presentation images in any of the supported file formats.
- Copy the layout side or clone the master slide from the source presentation.
- Process slides shapes, slides notes, placeholders, colors & font theme info.
- Programmatically create a presentation from HTML & export it to various formats.
- Merge multiple presentations or split the single presentation into multiple ones.
- Extract and replace text from a specific slide or an entire presentation.
## Read & Write Presentation Formats
**Microsoft PowerPoint:** PPT, PPTX, PPS, PPSX, PPTM, PPSM, POTX, POTM

There is free quota available. For more details, see [Aspose Cloud Pricing](https://purchase.aspose.cloud/pricing).
### Installation
```sh
cpan ASPOSE/AsposeSlidesCloud-SlidesApi-22.06.tar.gz
```
### Sample usage
The example code below converts a PowerPoint document to PDF format using aspose_slides_cloud library:
```perl
use File::Slurp;
use AsposeSlidesCloud::Configuration;
use AsposeSlidesCloud::SlidesApi;
my $config = AsposeSlidesCloud::Configuration->new();
$config->{app_sid} = "MyClientId";
$config->{app_key} = "MyClientSecret";
my $api = AsposeSlidesCloud::SlidesApi->new(config => $config);
my $file = read_file("MyPresentation.pptx", { binmode => ':raw' });
my %params = ('format' => 'pdf', 'document' => $file);
my $result = $api->convert(%params);
my $pdf = "MyPresentation.pdf";
open my $fh, '>>', $pdf;
binmode $fh;
print $fh $result;
close $fh;
```
