the biggest examples i can think of are the policing of the language (by a public institution which decides what 'correct' french is); the heavy protection of who is allowed to make certain kinds of food and what the recipe should be; a very deliberate effort to keep french cinema alive; and very heavy regulations around what a job is and what benefits the worker should get out of one.

I think that something like I Remember gives you a quick flavour of his stuff. Species of Spaces, Things, W are all great - i'd save Life: A User's Manual as i think it's his masterpiece - the others La Disparation, A Man Asleep and 53 Days are all good but not quite up to LAUM. Also if you can get hold of Bellos' biography of him - that is really interesting.

Not a particularly apt comparison - it is a novel built out of a number of constraints that Perec employs to create a snapshot of Paris, the movement between apartments is based on a complex plan using a grid and the knight's tour to navigate in and out of the lives of the occupants. There are references to lots of other texts, each section has a series of binary themes. Perec was part of OULIPO who were interested in language games and constraints (Perec's most famous example being La Disparation - a lipogram novel, written entirely without the letter e being used)
