CSS: Perspective transform on hover

Applies a perspective transform with a hover animation to an element.

• Use transform with the perspective() and rotateY() functions to create a perspective for the element.

• Use a transition to update the transform attribute's value on hover.

• Change the rotateY() value to negative to mirror the perspective effect from left to right.
