"In a perfect world ..." (7)

I believe the answer is:

ideally

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ideally that I've seen before include "In the best possible way or circumstances" , "In the best of all possible worlds" , "for preference" , "In the most perfect way" , "In perfect circumstances" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, the New York Times and The Independent.
