Simple gerund vs perfect gerund There is usually no difference between using the simple gerund or the perfect gerund, because the context usually makes it clear when the action happened.

He denied stealing the money. (=It's clear the money was stolen before denying it) He denied having stolen the money. She regretted marrying too early. (=It's clear she married before regretting it) She regretted having married too early. But sometimes there is a difference in meaning between using the simple gerund or the perfect gerund. He denied being married. (=he denied that he was married 'now', at the time of the denial) He denied having been married. (=he denied that he had been married before, in the past) Simple infinitive vs perfect infinitive As it happens with the gerund, sometimes there's no difference between using the simple or the perfect forms of the infinitive. It was stupid of me to say anything on Twitter. It was stupid of me to have said anything on Twitter. However, there is usually a difference in meaning between using the simple or the perfect infinitive forms, and we need to use the perfect forms to make clear that the action expressed by the infinitive was previous to the action described by the main verb. I'm very glad to work here. (=now) I'm very glad to have worked here. (=in the past)
