Why did you think you needed a data.frame
if your large matrix of numbers is called  Mat
just say
	persp(Mat)
which is equivalent to

	persp(z=Mat)

which is equivalent to

	persp(x = seq(0, 1, len = nrow(z)), 
	      y = seq(0, 1, len = ncol(z)), 
	      z = Mat)

Do you have suggestions for improving the online help for persp
which does contain this info ?
