my $seconds_in_one_day = 60 * 60 * 24; # 60 seconds * 60 minutes = seconds
in one hour, one hour * 24 = seconds in one day
my $now = time; # $now contains a number which is the number of seconds
that have passed since 1 1 1970 to this moment
my $expires = $now + ($seconds_in_one_day * 31); # get the expiration date
(31 days from $now)
stick $expires in your database
every time the user logs in, check the current time against their
expiration date
ChargeThemMoney() if(time >= $expires);
