Okay on review the above is not faithful to the problem statement and
so I tried some variations:
In bash inside Power Shell,
 echo foo | perl -e 'while(1) {sleep 1;}'
Will hang.

The same command pipeline, under the condition of having the path
augmented as above, will perform as expected and control-C will stop
the program.
