Well I don't have perfect pitch, but I feel that"something's wrong" when I play on a keyboard where the pitch has ben changes. Yes, half a step can make all the difference for someone with perfect pitch.
There is even one guy who has perfect polyphonic pitch. Amazing! If you have never heard of him, here he is (sorry for being OT):

Agree on the problems of changing keys and running into fingering problems when
doing blues licks, etc. Also, for me, with perfect pitch, different keys,
different notes, different chords, etc., have very different character or tone
color. To me, for example, there is a huge difference in color and character
between A and B-flat, even though they're only a half-step apart. When I have
to transpose something like that, it takes a while for me to be able to wrap my
head around the new key.
