$ftp->rget( map{($_, 1)} @ARGV);

That map is essentially creating a hash where the keys are the elements in @ARGV and the values are 1's.

For instance, if @ARGV held one element, "SymlinkIgnore" that code would result in a call to rget() just like $ftp-rget( SymlinkIgnore => 1); I think the man pages for Net::FTP::Recursive should clear it up from there.
