What's more, can catch_CtrlC gets parameters? Why below little change, adding a print in catch_CtrlC doesn't print anything(see line print "counter: $counter \n"; )?

#/usr/bin/perl 

use strict;
use warnings;
use threads;
use threads::shared;

my @thrList;
my $count = 1;
share $count;

my $counter = 3;

while($counter) {
     $counter--;
     my $thrHandle = threads->create(\&thrdfun);
     push @thrList, $thrHandle;    
}

foreach(@thrList){
     $_->join(); 
    }    

sub thrdfun {
    sub catch_CtrlC {            
        print "counter: $counter \n";
        $SIG{'INT'} = threads->kill('TERM');
    }
    
    $SIG{INT} = \&catchCtrlC;
     print "thrdfun: $count \n";
     $count++;
     while(1){
         ();
     }
     exit;
}
