Striker Dwight Gayle had several good chances in a first half dominated by Newcastle but he failed to find the back of the net.
With the home fans growing increasingly restless in a scrappy second half, Perez eased their nerves by sweeping the ball home from close range 10 minutes from time after Huddersfield keeper Jonas Loessl failed to gather a cross.
The win lifted Newcastle to 12th place, seven points above the relegation places, while Huddersfield remained 15th.
