If you go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Free Distort you can manipulate the points in the window to give the impression of perspective

I don't think you can do it directly with stroke but it would be very useful!

First make your text, and then make the object you want it to follow.
Then go to Object > Envelope Distort > Make with top object.
You cant do this with strokes, but it shouldn't be that hard to duplicate the top object and make strokes on that.

I agree with winther .
Create text > Create shape :: Select both the text and the shape > go to Object > Envelope Distort > Make with top object.
