    You can also look at Win32::OLE, which gets more hooks into Power Point.

    I've never used Power Point, but had plenty of success launching other programs with Win32::Process. Win32::Process will launch Internet Explorer. Win32::Process should already be installed on a current ActiveState Perl

    Win32::Process

    Only a partial answer, hope it is helpful.
