```perl
use File::Slurp;
use AsposeSlidesCloud::Configuration;
use AsposeSlidesCloud::SlidesApi;
my $config = AsposeSlidesCloud::Configuration->new();
$config->{app_sid} = "MyClientId";
$config->{app_key} = "MyClientSecret";
my $api = AsposeSlidesCloud::SlidesApi->new(config => $config);
my $file = read_file("MyPresentation.pptx", { binmode => ':raw' });
my %params = ('format' => 'pdf', 'document' => $file);
my $result = $api->convert(%params);
my $pdf = "MyPresentation.pdf";
open my $fh, '>>', $pdf;
