Let me recant on that. It's better to go to Google and search "ruby  
+tktimer". This finds a lot more stuff. I also recommend the  
following link

    http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ruby/ext/tk/sample/

There you will find links to tktimer.rb, tktimer2.rb, and tktimer3.rb  
-- these are examples of the use of the TkTimer class. It's also  
possible that you might find

    http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/rubytk_en/

and

    http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/212939

useful.
