I believe that if you make sure that all the text is in a single group,
then it will work normally. In other words, do not ungroup the text.

  Even a very basic test of this extension fails.  First, I create some
  text, then select it, convert to paths, ungroup.  Then I create from 1
  2 3 4 a box with the pencil or pen tool, being sure that I continue
  the line all the way until I have a closed box.  Then convert to
  paths.  Then I select all the text paths, then the box path, and run
  the Extension>Modify Path>Perspective tool, which either causes the
  box to only disappear, or only the first letter of the text to
  disappear.  The text is not mapped to the box.  If fails reliably.  It
  does not work at all.

  I've used this extension before, and had it work.  I've checked my
  steps and this is how the Perspective extension is supposed to be
  used.
