I am trying to handle a ctrl-c signal ( $SIG{'INT'} ), but my program is not capturing it. I am pretty sure this is due to the program currently waiting on input from STDIN via IO::Prompt. When I hit ctrl-c, the program stops and my handling doesn't happen. The handler does work if I insert a sleep and interrupt the sleep.

My question, is how can I capture the signal while using IO::Prompt, or do I have to prompt without using that module? 
#!/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use IO::Prompt;
$SIG{'INT'} = 'INT_handler';

my $PROMPT="Yes or no? [YES,no] :";
while (prompt $PROMPT, -until => qr/YES|n|N/) {
    print "\nExcuse me? Say again?\n\n";
}
my $YES_NO=$_;



sub INT_handler {
 print_info("Caught signal Interupt.  Cleaning up...");
 exit(0);
}
