Dear Masters,
I have the following problem. Here I want to get/put files from my PC at home into "host2" at any specified path. The problem is "host2" can only be accessed via "host1". 
              __________            _________
              |        |            |       |
My PC ------->| host1  |----------->| host2 |
              |________|            |_______|

            user: myname         usr: myname
            pswd: foo            pswd: bar

What I usually do manually is to access "host1" via console's SSH, then do sftp from inside "host1" to "host2".

Is there a way to do it automatically with Net::SFTP? Cause the following code I have only allowed me to access "host1". 

use Net::SFTP;
use Net::SSH::Perl;

my $host1 = 'host1';
my $pass1 = 'foo';  # password for host1
my $path1 = '/somepath'; # not really necessary

my $host2 = 'host2';
my $pass2 = 'bar';  # password for host1
my $path2 = '/somepath2'; # the actual path which I want to access

my $user = 'myname'; # username for host1 and host2 are the same
my $home = 'mycode.pl';


my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host1, "user" => $user,
                                  "password" => $pass1,
                                  "debug"=>1) 
        || die 'cannot login $!\n';
$sftp->put($home,$path1)|| die "cannot open: $!";
