I tried your example with the pure-perl loop, EV, Event, POE and Glib,
with and without Async::Interrupt, and whether I wait 5 seconds or not, I
always get:

   catcher called with 'INT'
   INSIDE END BLOCK

My guess is that your problem is elsewhere (tty settings, shell, terminal
emulator...), or maybe your test program works on your system, too?
