It would not be correct to use the Present Perfect in this context. The sentence would have to be changed significantly if we wanted to use this tense. The Present Perfect is used when there is no clear past time reference and when time is of no importance. Instead we focus on the action that has happened.
e.g. I have lost my key (not important when - what counts is the result - I can't open the door NOW).
