To infinitive/to have past participle ?

[crazYgeeK]

Could you please show me the difference between the two forms ? Such as "I'd like to meet her" and "I'd like to have met her" ?
Thank you very much !

"I'd like to meet her". It is my present wish that I will meet her in the future.
"I'd like to have met her". It is my present regret that I did not meet her in the past.

Could you please show me the difference between the two forms ? Such as
"I'd like to meet her" refers to the future (or the present)
"I'd like to have met her" refers to the past
Thank you very much !

Thank you !
But that's for "...would like to..." I wonder there are other cases or not that we can use "...to have + past participle". For example: "I wanted to tell you that"
Is it wrong to say "I want to have told you that" ?
Thank you so much !

Yes that is incorrect.

I am not a teacher -- just a native

You could say I wish I had told you that.

Haha, thank you ! That is an example to suggest that there is another kind of "...to have + past participle" beside "would like to have ..." or not ?
Could any one please answer clearly that "would like to have + past participle" is the only case using the form "...to have + past participle" ?
That's all I want to know through this thread !
Thank you so much !

No.
You ought to have known better.
