I'd say the most popular "perforated soldering medium" is the prototype PCB.  They are pre-drilled with solder rings on a 0.1" (2.54mm) grid.  Pretty much all are 1/16" (1.6mm) thick and cuttable with a hobby/hack saw.  There are even screw-terminal connectors that fit this grid - 0.1" (2.54mm) shown in photo in 2-pole and 3-pole.  Though I must say 0.1" screw-terminal blocks are quite tiny to work with in which case there are 0.2" screw-terminal blocks that drop in skipping a hole.  On eBay use 2.54mm or 5.08mm in search.

Wire terminals on resistors and capacitors are a couple inches on each side.  So since this is such a "simple" circuit you can probably use the wire terminals themselves to make all the interconnections in a point-to-point fashion.  In other words, you shouldn't have to cut and strip short lengths of insulated wiring to make the interconnections on the "bottom" of the board.

How does this look as a parts list?
