you can use them interchangeably , The only difference is that "perhaps" is used more often in England and it is also considered a little bit more formal than “maybe”.

There's not really a difference I can think of. When answering a request, they mean the same thing.
"Perhaps" can be used in other situations, too.

in my opinion 'maybe' is more used colloquially whereas 'perhaps' is used more in written forms like English literature.
