Timer application in linux

Hello everyone,
It is good to be here.
I am a newbie to Linux.Can anyone help me in designing a timer application.
The timer has to start.And after certain time interval the program should call a function continuously.It should not be in sleep mode.During the course of that time interval the program should execute the rest of the functions or statements.

Plz help me in doing so...thanx in advance

io::async::timer::periodic

IO::Async::Timer::Periodic(3pm) 			User Contributed Perl Documentation			   IO::Async::Timer::Periodic(3pm)

NAME

       "IO::Async::Timer::Periodic" - event callback at regular intervals

SYNOPSIS

	use IO::Async::Timer::Periodic;

	use IO::Async::Loop;
	my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;

	my $timer = IO::Async::Timer::Periodic->new(
	   interval => 60,

	   on_tick => sub {
	      print "You've had a minute
";
	   },
	);

	$timer->start;

	$loop->add( $timer );

	$loop->run;

DESCRIPTION

       This subclass of IO::Async::Timer implements repeating events at regular clock intervals. The timing may or may not be subject to how long
       it takes the callback to execute. Iterations may be rescheduled runs at fixed regular intervals beginning at the time the timer was
       started, or by a fixed delay after the previous code has finished executing.

       For a "Timer" object that only runs a callback once, after a given delay, see instead IO::Async::Timer::Countdown. A Countdown timer can
       also be used to create repeating events that fire at a fixed delay after the previous event has finished processing. See als the examples
       in "IO::Async::Timer::Countdown".

EVENTS

       The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters:

   on_tick
       Invoked on each interval of the timer.

PARAMETERS

       The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":

       on_tick => CODE
	       CODE reference for the "on_tick" event.

       interval => NUM
	       The interval in seconds between invocations of the callback or method. Cannot be changed if the timer is running.

       first_interval => NUM
	       Optional. If defined, the interval in seconds after calling the "start" method before the first invocation of the callback or
	       method. Thereafter, the regular "interval" will be used. If not supplied, the first interval will be the same as the others.

	       Even if this value is zero, the first invocation will be made asynchronously, by the containing "Loop" object, and not
	       synchronously by the "start" method itself.

       reschedule => STRING
	       Optional. Must be one of "hard", "skip" or "drift". Defines the algorithm used to reschedule the next invocation.

	       "hard" schedules each iteration at the fixed interval from the previous iteration's schedule time, ensuring a regular repeating
	       event.

	       "skip" schedules similarly to "hard", but skips over times that have already passed. This matters if the duration is particularly
	       short and there's a possibility that times may be missed, or if the entire process is stopped and resumed by "SIGSTOP" or similar.

	       "drift" schedules each iteration at the fixed interval from the time that the previous iteration's event handler returns. This
	       allows it to slowly drift over time and become desynchronised with other events of the same interval or multiples/fractions of it.

       Once constructed, the timer object will need to be added to the "Loop" before it will work. It will also need to be started by the "start"
       method.
