The complete source code is available in this repository folder. You can either directly use it in your project via source code or get [CPAN module](https://metacpan.org/release/AsposeSlidesCloud-SlidesApi) (recommended). ## Prerequisites To use Aspose Slides Cloud SDK for Perl you need to register an account with [Aspose Cloud](https://www.aspose.cloud/) and lookup/create App Key and SID at [Cloud Dashboard](https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/#/apps). There is free quota available. For more details, see [Aspose Cloud Pricing](https://purchase.aspose.cloud/pricing). ### Installation ```sh cpan ASPOSE/AsposeSlidesCloud-SlidesApi-21.06.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->post_slides_convert(%params); my $pdf = "MyPresentation.pdf"; open my $fh, '>>', $pdf; binmode $fh; print $fh $result; close $fh; ``` ## Aspose.Slides Cloud SDKs in Popular Languages | .NET | Java | PHP | Python | Ruby | Node.js | Android | Swift|Perl|Go| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--|--|--| | [GitHub](https://github.com/aspose-slides-cloud/aspose-slides-cloud-dotnet) | [GitHub](https://github.com/aspose-slides-cloud/aspose-slides-cloud-java) | [GitHub](https://github.com/aspose-slides-cloud/aspose-slides-cloud-php) | [GitHub](https://github.com/aspose-slides-cloud/aspose-slides-cloud-python) | [GitHub](https://github.com/aspose-slides-cloud/aspose-slides-cloud-ruby) | [GitHub](https://github.com/aspose-slides-cloud/aspose-slides-cloud-nodejs) | [GitHub](https://github.com/aspose-slides-cloud/aspose-slides-cloud-android) | [GitHub](https://github.com/aspose-slides-cloud/aspose-slides-cloud-swift)|[GitHub](https://github.com/aspose-slides-cloud/aspose-slides-cloud-perl) |[GitHub](https://github.com/aspose-slides-cloud/aspose-slides-cloud-go) | | [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Aspose.slides-Cloud/) | [Maven](https://repository.aspose.cloud/webapp/#/artifacts/browse/tree/General/repo/com/aspose/aspose-slides-cloud) | [Composer](https://packagist.org/packages/aspose/slides-sdk-php) | [PIP](https://pypi.org/project/asposeslidescloud/) | [GEM](https://rubygems.org/gems/aspose_slides_cloud) | [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/asposeslidescloud) | [Maven](https://repository.aspose.cloud/webapp/#/artifacts/browse/tree/General/repo/com/aspose/aspose-slides-cloud) | [Cocoapods](https://cocoapods.org/pods/AsposeslidesCloud)|[Meta Cpan](https://metacpan.org/release/AsposeSlidesCloud-SlidesApi) | [Go.Dev](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/aspose-slides-cloud/aspose-slides-cloud-go/) | [Product Page](https://products.aspose.cloud/slides/perl) | [Documentation](https://docs.aspose.cloud/display/slidescloud/Home) | [API Reference](https://apireference.aspose.cloud/slides/) | [Code Samples](https://github.com/aspose-slides-cloud/aspose-slides-cloud-perl) | [Blog](https://blog.aspose.cloud/category/slides/) | [Free Support](https://forum.aspose.cloud/c/slides) | [Free Trial](https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/#/apps)
