Abstract

We show that if there is a nonconstructible real, then every perfect set has a nonconstructible element, answering a question of K. Prikry. This is a specific instance of a more general theorem giving a sufficient condition on a pair MN of models of set theory implying that every perfect set in N has an element in N which is not in M.
