Previously defined covariant and gauge-invariant perturbation variables, representing, e.g., the fractional spatial energy density gradient on hypersurfaces of constant expansion, are used to simplify the linear perturbation analysis of a classical scalar field. With the help of conserved quantities on large scales we establish an exact first-order relation between comoving fluid energy density perturbations at `reentry' into the horizon and corresponding scalar field energy density perturbations at the first Hubble scale crossing during an early de Sitter phase of a standard inflationary scenario.
