I am unaware of PERP.
I just try it.
Eee hmmm...
What is this?

When I am on POINT1 and I want a perpendicular to LINE1, I must:
- LI, do 5-6 points until POINT1
- Abort active line
- Type PERP
- Select LINE1
- Select POINT1 - A line segment perpendicular to LINE1 appears but does not extend to LINE1 and does not start from POINT1.
- I TRIM new line segment to start from POINT1.
- Then I realize that there is no EXTEND to extend line segment to LINE1. Oh! There is LENGTHEN but does not extend to LINE1. It extends ... with its own way!
:-(

How AutoCAD handle this:
- OSNAP: Enable PERPENDICULAR snap
- L for line, do 5-6 points until POINT1
- Snap perpendicular to LINE1
