Thank you LanX and Anon. I thought meta refresh was a blunt approach. I also figured Mojo might provide an HTTP solution using NPH or something like the venerable CGI::Simple (websockets I guess). Anyway I figured out how to do the job, but will research your other suggestions for a more elegant solution: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Mojolicious::Lite;
use Time::HiRes 'time';

get '/' => sub {
  my $c = shift;
  $c->clock;
  $c->render('index')
};

helper clock => sub {
  my $c = shift;
  $c->stash(clock => time)
};

app->start;

__DATA__

@@ index.html.ep

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="1;<%=url_for('/')->to_abs%>">

<body>
<h1><%= $clock %></h1>
