Yes, you can do a timed event in something like Perl (and cron). We do something like that to push records into our system.
i.e. An outside system pushes records into a table in our Oracle database. We have a view form against that table and workflow (Filters) on the view form that fire on change of a "Status" field from 0 to 1 (Records are inserted with a 0 value). We have a Perl program that does a Remedy API call to modify the record and change the field to 1. (Yes we could have made an Escalation that does the exact thing, but it would only have fired each minute. This way we can fire it every 10 seconds).
