Thank you! This looks interesting - and definately a new area of Perl for me... I tried to compile it but ran into an error: 
TellStick.xs:70:10: error: ‘sv’ undeclared (first use in this function
+)

I guess sv needs to be declared. And there was a typo for NewSViv. So now it looks like 
  if (rv == TELLSTICK_SUCCESS) {
    HV* hv = newHV();
    SV *sv = newSV(0);

    sv = newSVpv(protocol, 0);  hv_stores(hv, "protocol",  sv);
    sv = newSVpv(model, 0);     hv_stores(hv, "model",     sv);
    sv = newSViv(id);           hv_stores(hv, "id",        sv);
    sv = newSViv(dataTypes);    hv_stores(hv, "dataTypes", sv);

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

There were some compilation warnings as well, don't know if they are important:

But the code works!!!

I get the correct values: 

protocol: mandolyn, model: temperaturehumidity, sensorId: 51, dataType
+s: 3
protocol: mandolyn, model: temperaturehumidity, sensorId: 61, dataType
+s: 3

Thank you very much for your help! Now I have a way forward for implementing the rest of fucntion in the C library.
