That's the intended purpose of perceptual rendering. And it really does work that way with ArgyllCMS.
The absolute and relative colorimetric rendering intents are designed to enable one device to simulate another, and are of almost no use outside of proofing. The saturation intent is excellent for business graphics (pie charts, that sort of thing) where the hue angle isn't nearly as important as that the colors be as saturated and eye-grabbing as possible.
And, remember: in all cases, if the output gamut entirely encompasses the input gamut, then there's no rendering at all and everything is (supposed to be) equivalent to absolute colorimetric.
But, when the output gamut is smaller than the input...if you want the visual appearance of the output to be the closest reasonably attainable to the original, perceptual is what you want. And, again, with ArgyllCMS, the perceptual rendering is frighteningly good...as in, you can make prints on two radically different stocks and the perception is that it's the paper that's different, not that the print is different.
Cheers,
