I think I know what you are asking to do, but I don't know if its possible or how to do it. Hopefully one our experts will have an answer for you.

I'm not sure how wise this is but using a simple example:

local $SIG{INT} = sub { print "good-bye\n"; exit(0); };
while (1){
print "hello\n";
sleep(2);
}

I would read up on signals more and see what the perl documentation has to suggest. A place to start:

By Using this function , its works fine when the I press Ctrl + C
But it wont reflect anything when I close the command prompt using close icon on the right corner of the window.
