No, but it's easy to roll your own:

    # Emulate Perl/Tk's repeat() method
    sub repeat {
        my $ms  = shift;
        my $sub = shift;
        my $repeater; # repeat wrapper
        
        $repeater = sub { $sub->(@_); Tkx::after($ms, $repeater); };
        
        Tkx::after($ms, $repeater);
    }

And then use it like this:

    repeat(100, \&UpdateCurrentProgress);
