Thatâs nothing to do with Gtk2. You just need to know Perl.
muppetâs suggestion of a Heartbeat object is nice, particularly
if you need to do this kind of thing more than in one place. For
a simple one-off where extensibility is not a concern, you can
just use a closure:

    my $timer = Glib::Timeout->add( 1000, sub {
        progress_timeout( $label );
        do_something_else( $progbar );
        spin( $my_beanie );
        etc( etc( etc() ) );
    } );
