Hmm, you'd need a table of customer-to-customer referrals, with the
custnum of the new customer, the custnum of the referring customer, the
date and a flag to indicate if the free month had been credited.  You'd
then run a cron job every day searching for rows that were at least a
month old but without the flag set, then credit the referring customer and
set the flag for each row.

I'll be adding this as soon as I get access to a test environment.
