Are there any examples of 'perfect' software? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm talking about programs that can't be improved no matter what. They do exactly what they're supposed to and will never be changed.

It'll probably have to be something small, like cd or pwd, but does such a program exist?

I would say git, tex, sqlite, Clojure, Steel banks common lisp are some of the candidates.

Perfect doesn't meen "not any bugs fixes or features needed" to me. I can't really define what it means to me...
