I usually have a little pool of water in the perlite, but the top inch or so stays pretty dry. Seems to do the job

The ratio (1 part perlite : 0.8 parts water) ends up making it moist enough to form into a ball, but not enough to squeeze water out of it

I have found that when the perlite in the incubation container is in large pieces, I only see a bit of condensation at the bottom but when the perlite is in smaller pieces (like the perlite is when you get down to the bottom of the bag) it looks "wetter". However, I just use the .8:1 ratio and don't worry about it.
