cgi Help

I have programmed a cgi script that will add a login and an encrypted
password to a .htaccess file. I know how to get the date from the server and
put it in a file. But I need to know how to get the script to automatically
delete the login and password from the .htaccess file after 10 days. Do I
need to use a crontab or how would I go about doing this?because I don't
know anything about crontabs and would rather not use them.
Also is it possible to add the date to the .htaccess file and have it still
work?

thanks
