Using CGAL, is it possible to perform Boolean operation on open polygon mesh?

Question

I have get to polygon mesh, namely A and B.

A is a closed mesh, B is an arbitrary surface. What I want to do is to cut off the part of B which located outside A. For example, if A is a polygon sphere and B is a rectangular plain, the result shall be a polygon circular plain.

I want to perform the above operation using CGAL (or may be other library if CGAL cannot do this). Any ideas about this?

I think you want the "3D Boolean Operations on Nef Polyhedra" library:
