Perfective aspect cannot usually be expressed in the nonfinite clause, i.e. you can't say "*The man having won the race got the first prize."

But if we modify the object of a preposition using the perfective, it is OK, right?

He had not told me of his having been summoned.
Is this sentence really correct?:confused:
