If you can't find one then a hardware shop will know where one is.
Just tell them what you want and what it is for.
Worth ringing them first as I've always been surprised how cheap the glass is.
Take the frame along so they can make sure it fits!
Maybe worth investing in acrylic? (it is dirt cheap and doesn't break, available at all good glazers)

Acrylic and perspex are pretty much same thing as far as I'm aware.
Assume you had it done by a glass shop for that price?
