This is just off the top of my head, but this should do what you're after, provided the RRD file actually has the specified datasource names in it.

# using RRDs
%values = { ds0=>$value0, ds1=>$value1, ds2=>$value2 };
$timestamp = 'N'; # or use a specific time
$rrdfilename = 'filename.rrd'; # must be already created
RRDs::update( $rrdfilename, '--template', (join ':',(keys %values)), 
"$timestamp:".(join ':',(map {$values{$_}?},(keys %values)))
);

# Or, using RRD::Simple
@values = ( "ds0:$value0","ds1:$value1","ds2:$value2");
%values = ();
foreach ( @values ) { $values{$1}=$2 if(/(\S+):(\S+)/); }
$rrd->update( %values );
