$pres -> Slides->Add($slideIndex,ppLayoutTitleOnly) = $slide; line gives the error "Can't modify non-lvalue subroutine call". If I remove the equals part, and try to add it to the next line, I get the right number of pages, but they are blank...

My Bad. Your $slides are just pointers to ppt slides. Try

 my @slides;
    my $j = 1;
    my $slide;
    
    while ($addpres->Slides($j)){$slides[$j] = $addpres->Slides($j);$j
+++};  

    my $k = 1;
    foreach $slide (@slides){ 
      # make a new slide
      my $s = $pres -> Slides->Add($slideIndex,$slides[$k]->Layout) 
      $slides[$k]->Copy; #get what you want
      $s->Paste;         #save it
       $slideIndex++; $k++;
     }

I always forget the details of the PPT DOM details.

Thank you for all your help, and I am sorry that I am having such a hard time getting this, but your last fix really helped out. I now get slides that are added, and that are the correct layout, but no text? The error I get is Win32::OLE(0.1502) error 0x80048240 in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "Slides" at powerpoint_create_withEDM.pl line 259 Win32::OLE(0.1502) error 0x80020003: "Member not found"

You may need to do a select all before the .Copy
