'in a perfect world' is the definition.
(in an ideal world)

'setter would lead enterprise with supporter' is the wordplay.
'setter would' becomes 'i'd' (I would, referring to the person setting the clues).
'lead' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'enterprise' becomes 'e' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'supporter' becomes 'ally' (an ally is a friend or supporter).
'id'+'e'+'ally'='IDEALLY'
