'C++ char* as a function parameter

How can I pass a char pointer (char*) to the function func()?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void func(char *var)
{
    cout << var;
}

int main()
{
    char* test = "Hello World";
    func(test);
}

The compiler says:

Initialization: const char[12] cannot be converted to char *
