Perilla is used in Mexico, the same way in Argentina we just say manija. The most extended word is picaporte. Pomo is reserved for rounded fixed knobs you hold to open and close a door or a drawer.

There is some type of lock that has a pomo and a keyhole on the outside, intended to just open with a key while you hold and push the pomo; and it has a rounded knob, almost the same aspect, on the inside, but this time it's a picaporte, as you can rotate it when you're in to open the door without using any key -they're locked using a button in the centre of the round knob that is pushed in.
