Steve,
this was discussed last week under "Automatically assigning user quotas". You 
want to use useradd and edquota wrapped into a script.
Have a look at 'man edquota'. 

If you need help creating a script to do this, just ask. (I could help with a  
bash script, I'm sure there will be no problems getting help in perl).
