in thread How to make `system` not ignore SIG INT in Perl?

Then you'll need to send a signal to the Perl program.

...ok, so Ctrl-C does send to both the child and parent, and the parent (Perl) does ignore it. Sorry.

Back to the question, no, system's behaviour simply is not configurable.

    Is there a way to work around so that my provided script can terminate when pressing ^C?

    Or do something similar in another way?

      There are many tool to launch processes. IPC::Open3 should do it. 
      open(local *CHILD_STDIN, '<', '/dev/null') or die $!;

my $pid = open3(
   '<CHILD_STDIN',  # Closed by open3
   '>STDOUT',
   '>STDERR',
   ...
);

waitpid($pid, 0);
