Is there a way to run a period task in a plugin?

You can schedule tasks for later execution using
Slim::Utils::Timers::setTimer(). Once the callback is executed, set a
new timer. Just make sure you don't set more than one. I'm routinely
killing previous timers before setting a new one. Just to make sure I
don't accidentally set multiple timers for the same task.

See eg.
