Sure.  Just write a cron job that checks for accounts with a balance
greater than zero, but no invoices in the last 14 days, and then suspends
all their packages.  See the FS::cust_main, FS::cust_bill, and
FS::cust_pkg manpages.

Probably not.  Database modifications should only be done through the Perl
FS::table_name interface, which isn't available from PHP.

Currently, CGI that also works (and sometimes caches for efficiency) under
mod_perl's Apache::Registry.  Future direction is a template-based system
that will run under HTML::Mason, Apache::ASP or eperl.
