Well, not necessarily.
At least in bash (I didn''t check /bin/sh), you can use 'set -a' to
automatically mark variables and functions which are modified or created for
export to the environment of subsequent commands. (so knowing the variables
ahead is not a must)

so:
#!/bin/bash
set -a
. config.env
exec ./script.pl "$@"
