Perry raced to a 10-5 lead in the first and withstood a Ramsey fightback to win the game with a stunning high backhand cross-court flick that found the nick.
Ramsey hit a succession of shots out of court to give Perry an easy second before rallying to take the third.
However, Perry closed out the match 12-10, 11-3, 9-11, 11-6 to take the title.
