If you want this line to be effective, you have to put it ABOVE the "use
POE" line.
And it is better written that way:
sub POE::Kernel::USE_SIGCHLD { 1 }
The way you wrote it would be less efficient as I expect the function would
not be inlined as a constant.

CTRL+C gives SIGBREAK, not SIGCHLD.
You are correctly handling SIGCHLD in on_child_signal, except, as Nick
pointed:
   $_[KERNEL]->sig_child($pid, 'got_child_signal');

You should add a SIGBREAK handler in on_start:
 $poe_kernel->sig(BREAK => 'on_sig_term');
 $poe_kernel->sig(TERM => 'on_sig_term');

sub on_sig_term
{
  if (exists $_[HEAP]->{job}) {
    $_[HEAP]->{job}->kill();
    delete $_[HEAP]->{job};
  }
  delete $_[HEAP]->{stdin};
  $poe_kernel->sig_handled();
}
