Provides a more Perlish interface:

#define _MAX_PROTOCOL_LEN 25
#define _MAX_MODEL_LEN    25

SV*
tdSensor()
   CODE:
   {
      char protocol[_MAX_PROTOCOL_LEN + 1];
      char model[_MAX_MODEL_LEN + 1];
      int  id;
      int  dataTypes;

      int rv = tdSensor(
         protocol, sizeof(protocol),
         model, sizeof(model),
         &id,
         &dataTypes
      );

      if (rv == TELLSTICK_SUCCESS) {
         HV* hv = newHV();
         SV* sv;
 
         /* In theory, hv_stores can fail.                        */
         /* However, I suspect it can't happen for this new hash. */
         /* It it were to happen here, this code would leak.      */
         sv = newSVpv(protocol, 0);  hv_stores(hv, "protocol",  sv);
         sv = newSVpv(model, 0);     hv_stores(hv, "model",     sv);
         sv = newIV(id);             hv_stores(hv, "id",        sv);
         sv = newIV(dataTypes);      hv_stores(hv, "dataTypes", sv);

         RETVAL = newRV_noinc(MUTABLE_SV(hv));
      } else {
         RETVAL = &PL_sv_undef;
      }
   }
   OUTPUT:
       RETVAL

Usage:

use feature qw( say );

while (my $rec = tdSensor()) {
   say join ', ',
      "protocol: $rec->{protocol}",
      "model: $rec->{model}",
      "sensorId: $rec->{id}",
      "dataTypes: $rec->{dataTypes}";
}

Untested.

Update: Fixed missing sv declaration and missing typecast for newRV_noinc's argument.
