What is the perimeter useful for?

Perimeter is useful for estimating skirting board, cornice, or wall-base trim length needed around the room.

Is there a version of this in square feet?

Yes — see the Square Footage Calculator for the same calculation with feet-based inputs and a square-feet result.
