No. I don't have perfect pitch, but I can perfectly well tell apart...

Hm.

Looking at Wikipedia, maybe I do have perfect pitch. Huh. This bears looking into.

There are a couple varieties of perfect pitch; "true" perfect pitch (perfect absolute pitch) is rare, but perfect relative pitch, which is being able to recognize precise intervals, is fairly common among musical people. IIRC, my intro music theory class at a not-musically-distinguished liberal arts college had the professor and ~5 students in a class of 40 who had perfect relative pitch.

Seems I have perfect relative pitch. I never knew!
