What you are attempting sounds a lot like an SNMP Trap send and receive system.

Configure snmpd to receive the trap, and call your 'a.pl'.

When you need to send the trap, have your 'b.pl' call snmptrap to send it.

Much complexity, features and cruft can be added, once the basic system starts working.
