Don't you mean:

int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *env[])


C *requires* that all code must be in a function and that all programs
have a function called 'main'.

Perl, like many other programming languages, does not require that all
code be in a function.

As others have pointed out ( $0, @ARGV ) is the equivalent of C's
*argv[] and %ENV for *env[] and exit() to return a value the way main
does.
