A perjurer is a person who has lied in court after promising to tell the truth. The word names the person; perjury names the crime. It is a formal, accusing word — law reports and newspapers, not casual talk about a friend who fibbed. Calling someone a perjurer is a serious charge, because it means they broke a legal oath, not only that they were untruthful.
偽證者;作偽證的人
