So, is remA a Solaris box? Is mconnect available there? If so, you can use it to create a direct ssh connection from your PC to remB through remA:
$ ssh -o 'ProxyCommand ssh remA mconnect -r -p 22 remB' remB
As you can run Perl scripts in remA, another solution would be to implement your own netcat (or mconnect) in Perl.

And you can combine that with the multiplexing feature:

$ ssh -M -S ~/.ssh/mux_socket -o 'ProxyCommand ssh remA mconnect -r -p + 22 remB' -N remB $ ssh -S ~/.ssh/mux_socket remB COMMAND1 $ ssh -S ~/.ssh/mux_socket remB COMMAND2 ...
