Here's why:
* "Perhaps" is an adverb that usually functions as a modifier, introducing an idea or possibility.
* Commas are used to separate elements within a sentence. You wouldn't separate an adverb from the rest of the sentence with a comma.
Example:
Incorrect: Perhaps, the weather will be better tomorrow.
Correct: Perhaps the weather will be better tomorrow.
