Not sure about making perry. We too have a Perry pear. The pears are not only hard, but even cooked they have little flavour. Another problem we have is that the tree is 60 feet plus high and the pears are just a little out of reach. By the time they drop they are not a lot of use and boy do the wasps love them. Mind, so do the butterflies.
As for cider apples, in the 'good old day' all they did was to wash the fruit. crush it and squeeze it. The resulting juice was allowed to forment with natural yeasts. I would imagine that they got cider vinegar as often as they got anything else.
Not sure if it would work and it would be a lot of work, but you could put the pears through a 'juicer' and add a general purpose wine yeast to the juice.
