Deal with different shape types with if/else statements. (You can use the object browser to inspect the msoShapeType constant values)

sub scan {  
  my $file = shift;   
  print "Scanning $file\n";
  my $p = $ppt->Presentations->Open($file);

  my $slides = Win32::OLE::Enum->new( $p->Slides );
  my $slide = $slides->Next;
  
  my $shapes = Win32::OLE::Enum->new( $slide->Shapes );
  while ( my $shape = $shapes->Next ){
    my $stype = $shape->type;
    print "Shape type is $stype\n";
    if ($stype == 17){
      my  $text = $shape->TextFrame->TextRange->text;
      print "TextBox is $text\n";
    } elsif ($stype == 14){
      my $type =  $shape->PlaceholderFormat->Type;
      if ( $type == ppPlaceholderTitle
        or $type == ppPlaceholderCenterTitle
        or $type == ppPlaceholderVerticalTitle ){
        my  $title = $shape->TextFrame->TextRange->text;
        print "Title is $title\n";
      }
    }
  }    
}
