toggle_perfect_spy does work but only if launched inside a script.

Ok, that's good to know! I take it one could do that by simply putting toggle_perfect_spy at the start of the campaign_script?

Once in, can one toggle it off from within the game? I presume not since it has to be in the script to function in the first place.

You have to put in console_command toggle_perfect_spy
If you take the time and learn a bit of scripting, you can also find ways to switch it off again using shortcuts or buttons

Thanks alpaca. Just how easy or difficult will it be to develop a script to allow toggling of perfect spy on and off? Are we talking a couple of lines of code or hours worth of work here?

Since we're lacking a lot of tutorials, you'll have to dig through most stuff yourself.
I'd do it by adding an advice thread, hooking it up to a show_me script and trigger on the construction scroll help request or something like that.
The old RTW tutorials about scripting should tell you how to make a show-me, but you also have to edit descr_advice_timings.txt by adding an entry so the text will actually show.
All in all it's quite a non-trivial task for starting to mod
