ace the jury determined it was material and I can see why. Lying about where you heard about Plame''s identity to a grand jury that is investigating who leaked Plame's identity is clearly perjury and obstruction of justice regardless if his lie in the future would have lead to who really leaked the information. Every lie causes the prosecutor to spend potentially millions of dollars unraveling the web of lies and chasing false leads. This is definitely material.
But I am curious with your definition including "material" do you think Bill Clinton's lie was material to the Paula Jones case?
