Подражать = imitate.
Раздражать = irritate.

Neither of this verbs has a perfective form.

Well, it does, technically, but I never heard anyone say "раздражИть". Come to think of it, I have run into this form in medical or scientific texts ("раздражить кончик нерва" etc). But not in everyday speech/writing.

People normally say "вЫзвать разждражение' or use a synonym when they want to use a perfective form.
