For people with perfect pitch, what age did you start learning and playing?

I can tell the key signature when listening to piano music, provided that the piano is tuned properly. But for baroque music, where A is sometimes 410 instead of 440 Hz, I'm completely thrown off. Is this considered perfect pitch?

starting playing piano when i was 4 and singing when i was 6. im not sure when i discovered it (was too young for me to remember), but i definitely knew of it by the time i was singing.

because I only started playing music at 15 (though I was writing songs in my heard for a long time, I just didn't have an instrument)  I guess I missed the window for perfect pitch.

just curious... Do those people here think they have absolute pitch, or relative pitch? Or even know the difference?

I don't know about perfect pitch but I always, as a child, sang and played piano, it came
naturally to me.  I have an inner ear about pitch after I learned to play the violin.  I know
if a note is a tiny bit off and when I begin to play a piece, I can hear the frst note  in my mind , whereas on the piano the notes are already there ready to play.

Cello at 7.
Piano at 8.

As far as I can recall...

(I am totally hopeless at piano though)

In the latest book on Martha Argerich, she claims she does NOT have perfect pitch!  And not only that, she doesn't realize the key she's playing in at times.  After performing the 24 preludes once in concert, someone commented on the magisterial playing of the g major prelude and she couldn't at the moment remember which one it was!!!!!!!! 
What a woman.  Love her!
