One thing is clear. Paul looked forward with eager anticipation to the day when he would put off his earthly tent and move into his heavenly dwelling. It would be, he says, a "spiritual" body, not meaning, as many have supposed, a body made up of spirit--something rather ghostly and immaterial --but rather a body fully subject to the spirit, designed expressly for the spirit. In this life, we are forced to say, "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." But in the life to come, we can say, "My spirit is willing and the flesh is equal to its demands. Let's go!" Perhaps a quote from C. S. Lewis will help us understand this point:
The command Be ye perfect is not idealistic gas. Nor is it a command to do the impossible. He is going to make us into creatures that can obey that command. He said (in the Bible) that we were "gods" and He is going to make good His words. If we let Him--for we can prevent Him, if we choose--He will make the feeblest and filthiest of us into a god or goddess, a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature, pulsating all through with such energy and joy and wisdom and love as we cannot now imagine, a bright stainless mirror which reflects back to God perfectly (though, of course, on a smaller scale) His own boundless power and delight and goodness. The process will be long and in parts very painful; but that is what we are in for. Nothing less. He meant what He said. (Mere Christianity, p. 171)
Yes, something more is coming--something so different from anything we have known up to now that it defies description. Yet it is something so splendid and glorious that, even whispered, it sends chills of expectation down the spine of the universe. Philippianslips' version of Romans 8:18-19 is beautifully expressive of this: "In my opinion whatever we may have to go through now is less than nothing compared with the magnificent future God has in store for us. The whole creation is on tiptoe to see the wonderful sight of the sons of God coming into their own."

I know what my definition for perfect is: Jesus Christ. He was "perfect" because he never sinned. He wasn't able to sin, because he was God and God can't sin. It's not in his nature. Sinning is a human thing. So because Jesus is God, and not able to sin he is perfect(I think I made that more confusing than it really is.)
Jesus = Perfect
Perfect = No sin
Therefore Jesus = No sin
Oh yea, and by the way, every human has sinned(Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God) which is why Jesus came in the first place.

Jesus said be you perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is,so I'd say doing Gods will is being perfect.

As my fiance says, perfection is a scale. The closer you get to zero, to closer you are to perfect...
