It can only be a perfect game if every batter is retired.
In fact, there have been 5 instances in which the only batter to reach base reached on an error (like in the question submitted)
One of those times it was the pitcher himself who made the throwing error allowing the runner to reach.
It is possible for an error to be committed (by the pitcher's team)and a perfect game still occur. If for example a batter hits a foul ball pop-up and the first baseman drops it, he will be charged with an error. Since it was foul though, the batter does not reach base and continues to bat. Then the batter records an out.
Because nobody reached base the entire game the pitcher get credited with a perfect game, despite the error, because the pitcher did not allow anybody to reach base. The game was perfect for the pitcher, even if it wasn't flawless for the entire team.

No. A perfect game requires the pitcher to retire every batter in order, without allowing any batter to reach base for any reason.

By definition a perfect game is not having a batter reach safely, so it would be a no-hitter but not a perfect game because a batter reached first base safely

No, it is considered a no-hitter, but not a perfect game.
For a game to be a perfect game, a pitcher must retire all 27 batters in a row. Nobody can get on base.
In a no-hitter, errors and walks don't count. The other team can even score runs and a no-hitter can still be intact.

No, it is not a hit. BUT the perfect game is gone. The error gets the man on base (for free) so it is kind of like a walk. If you walk someone, it isn't a perfect game anymore. Although the pitcher still gets the credit of no-hitter. (if no one else gets a hit after that)

sure, for both. If he throws a ideal sport it must be a No Hitter. yet in my opinion i'd truly be properly-known to throw a ideal sport than a no hitter. both are so problematical to do. 27 outs no one receives on base for a ideal sport. no one receives efficient in a no hitter. And a no hitter purely is going for 9 innings. So one adult men once lost a no-hitter reason contained in the bottom of the 10th the different crew had a walk off and gained, yet he threw a no hitter it really is stunning to attempt this and finally end up being the dropping pitcher.

Nope. It would become a no-hitter. In a perfect game none of the opposing players get on base.

No - a perfect game means no one - absolutely no one on the opposing team reached first base. At this point, it becomes a no-hitter, but the perfect game is gone.

no, it cannot be a perfect game, a perfect game means that no one reaches on base, it would still be credited as a no-hitter though.

NO, it is not a perfect game. A perfect game consists No runs, NO hits and NO errors made by HIS team.
