The Bible never says it was perfect...it says it was good. Obviously, if it were perfect, God would not have had the reason to chastise Adam and Eve for being disobedient.
In anything, Man himself, makes good things imperfect, and this was proven by the actions of Adam and Eve. From that time on, man has lived in the flesh, seeking refuge through Grace and the promise of repentance and Gods forgiving heart.
I think the only perfection throughout biblical times was the birth of Christ...Christ was perfect...The Greatest Example of Perfection. Man will never achieve perfection until the day of rapture when Christ returns to take his saints to Gods Kingdom, even at that time as the word says, few will find that way...Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
The amplified bible explains it this way... Gen 1:31 And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
New Living Translation says it like this...Gen 1:31 Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was excellent in every way. This all happened on the sixth day.

The book of Genesis in the old testament says that it was good and since there were and have been only two aspects to life - Good and Evil - the word "Good" means perfection because the very concept of 'God" the Almighty, Omniprescient,Omnipotent is based on perfection and that "God Created Man in his own Image" to live in the "Garden Of Eden" also created by God clearly means that the word "Good" was synonomous with the present day word "Perfect" and thereafter - since God the epitome of perfection had completed his perfect work - he rested on the 7th Day !!!

Although you will not find the word perfect used in the King James version of the Bible when referring to the Lord's garden, if God said it was good, then what he created was perfect.

It is said in genesis that every thing is good untill the serpent tempted eve to eat the fruit of the tree of good and bad knowledge.

The word "perfect" is not in the description, that's true. God said it was "good" and "very good". However, it was not "fallen" yet, which means it was "without sin", ergo "perfect".
Note~ God also said, "It is "not good" for man to be alone, therefore I will make a helpmeet for him and called her woman."And it was "Very good" :)
He did not make another man for him. Otherwise, there would be no human race, it would have ended with the two men.
