Problem

Let $ABC$ be a triangle. The bisector of $\angle ABC$ intersects $\overline{AC}$ at $E$, and the bisector of $\angle ACB$ intersects $\overline{AB}$ at $F$. If $BF=1$, $CE=2$, and $BC=3$, then the perimeter of $\triangle ABC$ can be expressed in the form $\tfrac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.
