i just tried doing a bit of reading on Perkele and only found that he is the equivelant of the devil in finnish mythology. the site i was on didnt really have much information on him.
Perkele was the god of thunder in finnish mythology (like Thor in Scandinavia). It is now a swear word because it has come to mean "devil", courtesy of the Catholic church valiant efforts of turning every pagan symbol of pre-christian Finland into something evil.
