Now we don't really get them working (I don't see the extension entry in the menu bar in the first place), I'd like to have some input on how they work, or how to get them running.
It was my understanding that someone was working on the ultimate transformation code for Inkscape proper. So perspective transforms might appear sooner or later.
Yes, see http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PerspectiveObject for the plan.
But as Aaron just did with blends, it is indeed possible to hack a quick extension for this while waiting for the proper implementation. The only problem is that I can't think of a satisfactory interface to specify the perspective via non-interactive numeric parameters.
