The difference in meaning is that the action stated by a present perfect tense may have been completed in the last second of time before the present, while the past perfect implies completion at a substantially earlier time. The formal difference is that the present perfect is formed from the present tense of "have", used as an auxiliary verb, combined with the past participle of the principal verb. For the past perfect tense, the past tense of "have" as the auxiliary verb is combined with the past participle of the principal verb.
