Hmm...your "ignoring SIGINT" approach works for me on Windows: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my @lines;
{
    $SIG{INT} = 'IGNORE';
    @lines = <STDIN>;
}
print "You entered: " . join("", @lines)

    Right... but now ctrl-C is ignored for the entire life of the script. And, if the signal handler is reset back to default later in the script, it doesn't keep the script from dying as a result of the ctrl-C.
