You really need to show some code, but in general, windows should update themselves automatically. If your code is setup so that it dosn't update itself, there are a few things you can use:

A timer

my $repeater = $mw->repeat(1000, sub{ #repeats every second (1000 ms) &refreshing_sub1; &refreshing_sub2; #etc etc $mw->update; }); #later $repeater->cancel; #to stop it
But you really need to show some example code. There are all sorts of builtin Tk methods for auto-updating, ranging from fileevent callbacks, to tied textvariables for the various widgets. If you are doing something like making a socket connection, or running something like a cron job, a timer should do it.
