Unluck (Su) A creature in this area must roll 2d20 whenever a
situation calls for a d20 roll (such as an attack roll, a skill check,
or a saving throw) and must use the lowest of the two results
generated.vs
Perfect Strike; You can roll your attack roll twice and take the higher result.
How exactly do these 2 abilities interact? Is there a FAQ or a thread somewhere around? I looked around and failed my Searchfu roll, must be a Pugwapi around.

Since the attack roll is a d20, the individual would roll 2d20, noting the lower of the two as per the unluck aura. This is one attack roll.
Since Perfect Strike allows making an attack roll twice, you would repeat the above application and select the higher of the two.
So if you are mathematically inclined it would look something like this:
maximum( minimum(d20,d20), minimum(d20,d20) ).
A quick way to do this would be to roll four d20, two in each hand. Select the lowest die from the left hand's roll, and the lowest die from the right hand's roll. The final attack roll would be the higher of the two selected die.

The Pugwampi unluck-aura is negated every time you are affected by anything that gives you a luck bonus. I would say, that Perfect Strike is just lucky enough to qualify.
I would argue however that nowhere in the text of Perfect Strike does it even suggest that the feat is a result of luck. Rather, it reads more like it is based on practice and skill rather than luck. If the OP can convince the GM that it is luck then fine. But this interpretation definitely would not fly at my table.
