This is almost certainly due to the long-standing global destruction bug
in perl, and not something that is caused by AnyEvent::HTTP or EV. I have
recently written a small article about this (about Coro, but the problem
isn't specific to my modules), that explains it in more detail - see:

The current perl maintainers sure consider it a feature :/

If it is a problem for you and you don't want to _exit, your only chance
is to rewrite your programs in a way to avoid the problem during global
destruction, i.e. by making sure there are no outstanding operations, or
otherwise making sure perl doesn't corrupt data structures.
