If you have perfect pitch in eight-tone (ie. Western) scale, do you still have perfect pitch if five-tone?

I should pack. Something. Besides the three-hole punch, I mean.

I can't imagine why not? I don't know what differences there are between Eastern and Western musical nomenclature and notation, but I imagine the description of the pitch would be the biggest difference for a person with absolute pitch.

The real test would be the Indian subcontinent, where there are some musical traditions that use quarter steps. I honestly can't listen to it. I don't have perfect pitch, but my sense of pitch is extremely sensitive and the quarter steps sound horribly out of tune to me.
