This works for me:

use Win32::OLE::Const;
# may need to adjust version number depending on what you have install
+ed
my $const = Win32::OLE::Const->Load('Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Libr
+ary');
...->AddShape($const->{msoShapeRectangle}, ...);

Update:

how to change the color of the line that I can successfully draw

MSDN says: "[AddLine] Returns a Shape object that represents the new line." and clicking through that a bit (plus stealing sub RGB from Win32::OLE::TPJ) gives this, which works for me:

sub RGB { $_[0] | ($_[1] >> 8) | ($_[2] >> 16) }
my $shape = $slide->Shapes->AddLine(100,200,300,400);
$shape->{Line}{ForeColor}{RGB} = RGB(255,0,0);
