Yes. Use require().

I think unless your B.pl runs itself in background mode (such as that of daemons, for instance), the perl process for B.pl will not exit before it completes, and hence system() in your calling script will not return (note that system() just executes a perl process in the same way as other processes). If the exit() occurs after system(), you can assume it will only be executed when B.pl exits for whatever reason.
Did you try to find out whether that is the case?

sieveshell
SIEVESHELL(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation SIEVESHELL(1)
NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts
SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port]
sieveshell --help
DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.
The following commands are recognized:
list list scripts on server.
put <filename> upload script to server.
get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout
delete <name> delete script.
activate <name> activate script.
deactivate deactivate all scripts.
OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user
The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.
-a authname, --authname=authname
The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).
-r realm, --realm=realm
The realm to attempt authentication in.
-e script, --exec=script
Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
