In the PowerPoint.pm module built on WIN32:OLE I'm trying to affect an msoShapeArc object - namely the two adjustable items which set the start angle and the extent of the arc.

Here's the code I've tried ... commented out 

    # Set the start and extent angles of an arc
#    $new_shape->{Adjustments}{Item}=($options->{start}, $options->{ex
+tent});
#    $new_shape->{Adjustments}{Item}[0]=$options->{start};
#    $new_shape->{Adjustments}{Item}[1]=$options->{extent};
#    $new_shape->{Adjustments}{Item}[1]=$options->{start};
#    $new_shape->{Adjustments}{Item}[2]=$options->{extent};
#    $new_shape->Item=$options->{start};
#    $new_shape->Item=$options->{extent};

It would appear to have to do with the syntax for accessing an Adjustment Item as described in the MicroSoft VBA documentation here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/powerpoint.adjustments

Last time I got some great help about Variant ... but I can't find any documentation on how to use the Item.

Thanks for any help!
