According to the Microsoft documentation for AddPolyline, the method takes a Variant datatype. Without testing, you should be able to create a (2-dimensional) Variant that contains an array (of integers) like this:

use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Variant;


my $pointcount = 4; # 4 points
my $point_dimensions = 2;

# The arrayrefs mean we use 1-based indices, like the VBA examples do:
# my $pointlist = Variant(VT_ARRAY | VT_R4 , [1,$pointcount], [1,$poin
+t_dimensions]);
# Alternatively, use 0-based indices, like Perl does:
my $pointlist = Variant(VT_ARRAY | VT_R4 , $pointcount, $point_dimensi
+ons);

$pointlist->Put( 0,0, 25 );
$pointlist->Put( 0,1, 100 );
...

$slide->Shapes->AddPolyline($pointlist);

The MS documentation suggests that the SafeArryOfPoints should be a 2-dimensional array.
