In a no-hitter a batter can still reach base by a walk, hit batsman, error, etc., just no 'hits' are recorded. In a perfect game, no one reaches base at all for any reason.

Right. And the OP might be interested to know that a few pitchers have actually pitched no-hitters and LOST the game, with one or more runs scoring by batters who reached base and advanced to score on some combination of walks and fielding errors. In a perfect game, of course, that can't happen. No baserunners at all.
