Perlman was born August 20, 1934, to Henry and Martha Perlman in Brno, Czechoslovakia. His family immigrated to the United States when he was young. Perlman received a master's degree from Columbia University and a doctorate from University of Belgrade. He married Lorraine Nybakken in January 1958.

His best-known work, Against His-Story, Against Leviathan (1983) rewrites the history of humanity as a struggle of free people ("zeks") resisting the sovereign nation-state (Leviathan). The book influenced ecophilosopher John Zerzan.
