How you get the data? From a CGI-FORM? or STDIN?
Suppose you get the data from a string format...

$value_list =~ s/,/COMMA/eg;
@data = split(/,/, $value_list);
... expressions.....
... expressions.....
... expressions.....
($d0_value0, d0_$value1, $d0_value2) = split(/COMMA/, $data[0]);
($d1_value0, d1_$value1, $d1_value2) = split(/COMMA/, $data[1]);
... expressions.....
... expressions.....
