If, by "without human intervention" and "periodically", you mean that there is
no GUI event which triggers the need to update the status bar text, then the
answer to your question depends on what does trigger the need to update the
status bar text.
If "periodically" is truely the answer, that you want to wake up periodically,
and execute some code to determine what the status bar text should currently
be, then perhaps the Win32::GUI::Timer is what you are looking for.
