Re: Consolidate files into file

Without recommendation, and since PowerPoint suggests you're using Windows, this, from ppm search ppt:

and, while not what you're looking for, this, from ppm search powerpoint may contain code that will help you get started:

"ppt" stands for Perl Power Tools and has nothing to do with Powerpoint file manipulation. Win32::Powerpoint, as indicated in the description you included, converts text to slides, which isn't what the OP asked for.	[reply]

Thank you for your observation. Nonetheless (and despite NOT being the application sought by OP) Win32::Powerpoint may provide some pointers, as, for example, this code therein: `$self->{application} = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('PowerPoint.Application');`	[reply] [d/l]
