can't break out of perl script during execute()

- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
I have a perl script that reads a (large) log file, searches for records
matching a certain pattern, and execute()s a binary passing in to it data
from the matched log record. Works great, except that I can't CTRL-C to
break out when the perl script is executing the binary, which is where it
is most of the time, so it's hard to catch it between calls to execute().
I built the binary with Cygwin's gcc. Wondering if this is a Cygwin issue
and if there's a known workaround.
