What would be simpler than returning them in a hash? ...oh yeah, returning them in a list! Here ya go.

void
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) {
         XSRETURN(0);
      }

      EXTEND(SP, 4);
      ST(0) = sv_2mortal(newSVpv(protocol, 0)));
      ST(1) = sv_2mortal(newSVpv(model, 0));
      ST(2) = sv_2mortal(newIV(id));
      ST(3) = sv_2mortal(newIV(dataTypes));
      XSRETURN(4);
   }

Usage:

use feature qw( say );

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

Untested.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
