Thanks for the reply. That's what I figured I might have to do, but I
just wanted to make sure.

I'm guessing the key is in the transformation dialog, but I'm not
sure what to do.
SVG is limited to affine transformations (scale, rotate, transform,
skew [aka shear]).
From a technical perspective, we can still "fake" perspective
transformations for some types of objects, but it's not possible to
do for all types of objects. Either way, nobody's implemented it in
Inkscape yet.
I've done this before in the Gimp, but it was a rough-guess
approach
The Gimp (as of 2.2, at least -- maybe you need a newer version) has
a dedicated "perspective" tool, appearing between the shear and flip
tools. Its default keyboard shortcut is Shift+P.
If you have created a flat arrangement of shapes, I want to
proportionally shrink (say the left) one side so that it looks in
perspective. Then I can provide a "stacked-but-expanded" view of
a system.
For a diagram, "isometric" (no vanishing point) perspective might be
sufficient. You can simulate that easily with a horizontal skew.
[you'll need a non-proportional font for the below diagram to make
sense]
shape:
