yes, there is; the class is called Win32::GUI::Timer, it is also 
documented in Win32_GUI_Timer.html.
basically, go like this:

    $Timer1 = $Window->AddTimer("Timer1", 500); 
    # triggered each 500 milliseconds

    sub Timer1_Timer {
        print "I'm awake!\n";
    }

you can then use:

    $Timer1->Kill(); # disables the timer

and

    $Timer1->Interval(750); 
    # change the interval and/or reenables the timer
