  We present multi-epoch, large-scale ($\sim$ 2000 arcmin${}^2$), fairly deep
($\sim$ 16 $\mu$Jy), high-resolution ($\sim$ 1") radio observations of the
Perseus star-forming complex obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array
at frequencies of 4.5 GHz and 7.5 GHz. These observations were mainly focused
on the clouds NGC 1333 and IC 348, although we also observed several fields in
other parts of the Perseus complex. We detect a total of 206 sources, 42 of
which are associated with young stellar objects (YSOs). The radio properties of
about 60% of the YSOs are compatible with a non-thermal radio emission origin.
Based on our sample, we find a fairly clear relation between the prevalence of
non-thermal radio emission and evolutionary status of the YSOs. By comparing
our results with previously reported X-ray observations, we show that YSOs in
Perseus follow a G\"udel-Benz relation with $\kappa$ = 0.03 consistent with
other regions of star formation. We argue that most of the sources detected in
our observations but not associated with known YSOs are extragalactic, but
provide a list of 20 unidentified radio sources whose radio properties are
consistent with being YSO candidates. Finally we also detect 5 sources with
extended emission features which can clearly be associated with radio galaxies.
