This depends on whether you are executing all this in a Perl or C context. If you are attempting to call a Perl subroutine from a C function which in turn was called from within a Perl script using the Inline::C module, you can use something like this to perform your task (largely based on code from Inline::C-Cookbook): 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Inline qw(C);

c_func('AAA:BBB');

sub perl_sub {
    for (@_) {
        /^([^:]+):([^:]+)$/;
        print "$1 - $2\n";
    }
}

__DATA__
__C__

void c_func(SV* text) {
    Inline_Stack_Vars;
    Inline_Stack_Push(newSVpvf("CCC:DDD"));
    Inline_Stack_Done;
    perl_call_pv("main::perl_sub", 0);
    Inline_Stack_Void;
}

However, if your main() is a C function, I believe you need a different approach. I've never used it, but Inline::CPR ostensibly gives you a binary you can call from C which will handle the appropriate inheritance.
