Problem isolation:

Create another RRD from the command line, not from your perl script.

Use the generated time stamps and data to fill that RRD, again from
the command line not from your perl script. (using a batch file is OK)

Compare the two RRDs, they should be identical.  If not -> problem with
your perl script.

Now dump the content of the RRD using the "rrdtool dump" command.  View
the content of this database and look for entered data (not being NaN).

If there is no data entered, the parameters of your RRD could be wrong,
check those.  For instance, updates occuring more than <step> seconds
apart will cause the data to be ignored.

If there is data entered but it's not visible in the graph, you're plotting
the wrong time range.  The graph parameters will be wrong in that case.

HTH,
