Chlorate to perchlorate using hydrogen peroxide: possible?

Just that, can a solution of chlorate be converted to perchlorate using hydrogen peroxide?

 

ClO3- + H2O2 = H2O + ClO4-

 

Guess this is just a question of H2O2's strength as an oxidiser compared to chlorate? Or to perchlorate, because the product, perchlorate, is more stable than chlorate, would this drive the reaction to completion?

 

Thanks :)
