This question remains unanswered or improperly answered for ages. In "perception" a belief or opinion often held by many people and based on how things seem are implied. Whereas, when it is "perspective" the volition of giving a meaning to what an individual thinks rests with that particular individual.
Suppose, an young man goes with a young woman hand in hand talking huskily with a smile over the face - the general perception will be they are lovers - however one's perspective can be different and call them as siblings.
I wish and hope I am clear to you.
All the best.

Hi
Ganesh has given a very good explanation and an apt example to bring out the difference between 'perception' and 'perspective'. I would still take the liberty of adding to his explanation so as to reinforce the distinction.
"Perceptions' are preconceived notions or impressions immediately formed in the mind (often based on past experience, assumptions, flawed logic). 'Perspectives' on the other hand, refer to a 'point of view' arrived at by using a mix of logical, creative and strategic thinking coupled with inputs based on experience, rational assumptions and outcome expectations.
An example would be the styles adopted by an amateur playing any card game as opposed to a professional player. The former relies more on perceptions to guide his/ her next move where as the latter could be guided by the perspective he/she takes in the overall context of the game as it progresses.
Trust my explanation helps bring more clarity.

Hi Ganesh
Thank you for your comment about my post but the fact is that you did a splendid job about explaining and clarifying the query posed. In fact, your reply actually set my mind thinking and hence I took the liberty of adding my interpretation.
By the way, there are very few who respond to the queries posed here with the kind of panache and flair that you have displayed in your reply. Take a bow Ganesh.

Dear Mayank
Ganesh and Jacob have give good examples; here are definitions as per the Oxford Dictionary. I have also given links for searching and finding for oneself. As a student in India, I had come acroos the example given by Ganesh. There is a saying in Kannada, "Pratyakshisidaroo pramaaNisi noDu", which rougly means "Even when one has witnessed something, judge after enquiring under oath". For example, when my friend (Male) and I used to go for a walk the popular perception of our son's friends was that we were gay. The used to ask our son "Does not your mum mind your dad going with a bloke?"
,
Perspective: "a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something; a point of view:most guidebook history is written from the editor’s perspective" Oxford Dictionary found at definition of perspective from Oxford Dictionaries Online <link updated to site home>
Perception: "the way in which something is regarded, understood, or interpreted:Hollywood’s perception of the tastes of the American public[count noun] :we need to challenge many popular perceptions of old age
<LI class="subSense scrollerBlock">intuitive understanding and insight:[I]‘He wouldn’t have accepted,’ said my mother with unusual perception" found athttp://oxforddictionaries.com]
Have a nice day.

Dear All,
Perception is the knowledge gained through 5 senses - eyes, ear, tounge, nose and skin. A person can acquire knowledge only through following means 1) Perception (through 5 senses), 2) Inference (deriving ideas from ideas by associating, comparing ctc by the way of reasoning) and intuition (eg enlightenment of Buddha, believed to be divine - wisdom)
So by these means people get knowledge and they start to observe, think, approach, evaluate etc things and situation based on knowledge ( perception + inference + intuition) what they have. Means they think on their own perspective based on what knowledge they have. A man working in logistic will think which is the shortest way to reach Delhi from Mumbai, A student of Finance will think that which is the economical way to reach Delhi from Mumbai, A tourist will think what all sceneries/historical places etc can be touched while travelling from Mumbai to Delhi ... these angles of thoughts are known as perspective which are subjective and relative.
I would request you to read about synthesis of rationalism and empiricism by Immanuel Kant

Hi
I absolutely agree with Mr. B.Jacob. The only thing i would like to add is that Perception is the judging of the surrounding, but perspective may be the thing one opts to believe about the surrounding.
As in the example given by Mr. R.Ganesh - "Suppose, an young man goes with a young woman hand in hand talking huskily with a smile over the face - the general perception will be they are lovers - however one's perspective can be different and call them as siblings."
In this case according to me both the views are perception but which perception you would actually believe in will be your perspective about the man & the woman.
