It looks like both "-j" and "-J" turn on the perspective projection
from the command line.

Good to know.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "view" and "camera" positions.

I think they are called "look_at" and "location" in POV-Ray.

What sort of control would you like to have over the perspective
projection matrix?  I guess compatibility with L3P and POV would be
nice.  Any suggestions?

It would be fine if you could make something equivalent to:

   camera {
      sky      <0, 0, 1>
      up       <0, 1, 0>
      location <0, 0, 528>
      look_at  <0, 0, 0>
   }

in POV-Ray. I must admit that I haven't looked into how this
translates into a perspective matrix.

However since this is apparently undocumented in the readme.txt file I reserve the right to change (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
