Clinton was barely acquitted in the Senate. He was found guilty in the House before it went to the Senate, and was duly impeached in the House. That is forever logged in the House of Rep's records. Read Clinton's words below for yourself after all of the proceedings:

He sounds pretty resigned, acknowledges wrongdoing, and was pretty much disgraced as a President from that point on. Oh yeah, and he was disbarred. Sorry about that.  |
First off it takes 2/3s in the Senate which means barely would be 66 to 34. Barely in your mind is quite interesting. You want to see someone almost get knocked out of office then go back to Andrew Johnson. Now that was barely :p
Second the Congress does not and can not put the President on trial they vote for impeachment only. The trial is in the senate.
So---- No the House did not find Clinton Guilty.
No where in Clinton's apology did he say he committed perjury. Maybee you should read it again.
This time use Webster's Dictionary as opposed to SeaDeamons. :p
