The main shell forks off a copy of itself to run while read independently of the echo so they can both run while connected by a pipe. The copy, or "sub-shell", runs successfully, setting all your variables and such as you please, until the pipe runs out of information and returns EOF. Then the loop quits.
Then the subshell dies. Control is returned to the main shell, which remains unchanged. You set all your variables in the subshell, not the main one.
In short: It's the pipe that does it. Your shell and everything behind the pipe are different processes and don't share variables.
Pipes are overkill if you have substring operators anyway. This way of getting a single character ought to work identically in bash and ksh:

io::async::loop::glib
IO::Async::Loop::Glib(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::Async::Loop::Glib(3pm)NAME
"IO::Async::Loop::Glib" - use "IO::Async" with Glib or GTK
SYNOPSIS
use IO::Async::Loop::Glib;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop::Glib->new();
$loop->add( ... );
...
# Rest of GLib/Gtk program that uses GLib
Glib::MainLoop->new->run();
Or
$loop->loop_forever();
Or
while(1) {
$loop->loop_once();
}
DESCRIPTION
This subclass of "IO::Async::Loop" uses the "Glib::MainLoop" to perform read-ready and write-ready tests.
The appropriate "Glib::IO" sources are added or removed from the "Glib::MainLoop" when notifiers are added or removed from the set, or when
they change their "want_writeready" status. The callbacks are called automatically by Glib itself; no special methods on this loop object
are required.
CONSTRUCTOR
$loop = IO::Async::Loop::Glib->new()
This function returns a new instance of a "IO::Async::Loop::Glib" object. It takes no special arguments.
METHODS
There are no special methods in this subclass, other than those provided by the "IO::Async::Loop" base class.
$count = $loop->loop_once( $timeout )
This method calls the "iteration()" method on the underlying "Glib::MainContext". If a timeout value is supplied, then a Glib timeout will
be installed, to interrupt the loop at that time. If Glib indicates that any callbacks were fired, then this method will return 1 (however,
it does not mean that any "IO::Async" callbacks were invoked, as there may be other parts of code sharing the Glib main context. Otherwise,
it will return 0.
