Also, I think that people are not born with perfect pitch, it has more to do with exposure to lots of music at a very young age. In the same way that children must be exposed ot language immediately if they are to learn it (studies of isolated humans have proven them unable to learn language effectively when they are older), people's ear must be exposed when they are very young to lots of music, as you can't absorb music in the same way when you are older.
Kinda makes you mad at your parents, doesn't it?
