The Perspective Tool is used to change the «perspective» of the active layer content, of a selection content or of a path. When you click on the image, according to the Preview type you have selected, a rectangular frame or a grid pops up around the selection (or around the whole layer if there is no selection), with a handle on each of the four corners. By moving these handles by click-and-drag, you can modify the perspective. At the same time, a «Transformation information» pops up, which lets you valid the transformation. At the center of the element, a circle lets you move the element by click-and-drag.

Constrain handles to move along edges and diagonal.

The information window shows a mathematical representation of the perspective transformation. You can find more information about transformation matrices on Wikipedia.
With this button, new in GIMP-2.10.10, you can readjust transform handles based on the current zoom level.
