Using Perl in slashboxes in slashcode (how to force refresh)

Okay, I know this is kind of offtopic, but there really isn't a
slashcode newsgroup, so this is the closest I could come. I'm trying to
put a slashbox on my webpage that looks at the current system clock and
says stuff based on that (i.e., "It's 9:39pm, the Sun has just gone down",
or whatever). I know the Perl to do this; the problem is, the slashboxes
are only updated once in a while and then their output cached. I need to
force this Perl code to run every time the page is viewed and the slashbox
is displayed. Anyone know how to accomplish that? Thanks.
