Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

Perjury: who is the victim?

Assume that in sworn testimony, person A committed perjury which damaged the interests of person B in some material way. Do I have to file a complaint or do I even have a right to file a complaint about this as it may be only a crime against the ''state''?
