Yeah, if you put your file list in an array like so: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# Comments are allowed in both the file and host list if
# the comment row begins with a '#' sign.
# Entries in the file and host list should be seperated with
# a new row. spaces or other signs will make the script fail.
#
use Net::FTP;
use strict;

my $usage = "$0 filelist hostlist username password directory\n";
my $filelist = $ARGV[0] or die "$usage";
my $hostlist = $ARGV[1] or die "$usage";
my $username = $ARGV[2] or die "$usage";
my $password = $ARGV[3] or die "$usage";
my $home = $ARGV[4] or die "$usage";
my $debug = 5;

my $backupnode = undef;

open(FilesToGet, $filelist)
  or die "can't open filelist $filelist: $!\n";
my @FilesToGet = <FilesToGet>;
close FilesToGet;

open(HostsToGet, $hostlist)
  or die "can't open hostlist $hostlist: $!\n";

while (<HostsToGet>) {
    next if /#/;
    print STDERR "Connecting to $_" if $debug > 3;
    chomp;
    $backupnode = $_;

    for(@FilesToGet) {
        next if /#/;
        my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($backupnode);
        $ftp->login($username, $password);
        $ftp->cwd($home);
        print STDERR "Getting $_" if $debug > 3;
        chomp;
        $ftp->get($_,"$backupnode." . $_);
        $ftp->quit;
    }
}

it should be happier. Although you may want to add some code to make it skip files you grabbed... actually, $_ = '#'; at the bottom of the for loop would do that :)
