This whole Plame mess

Is it in fact perjury to lie under oath about doing something that is not in fact a crime, nor has a bearing any crime?

Can I, as a prosecutor, make a wild interpretation of a law, drag people into court to and ask them all sorts of person questions, and punish them when I find out later that they lied, even if my interpretation of the law is bogus?

Note that this is not perfectly germane to the Plame situation, as Libby is accused as obstruction, not just perjury.
