Abstract
A categorical closure operator induced via pullback by a pointed endofunctor is introduced. Various notions of a perfect morphism relative to a pointed endofunctor and the induced closure are then considered. The main result explores how these notions are interrelated, linking also with earlier notions of perfectness.
