The *_Local.pm files are where you would add your local changes.  If
the _Local.pm file doesn't exist, you can simply make it.  The end of
each .pm file has something like:

        eval "require RT::Tickets_Local";
        if ($@ && $@ !~ qr{^Can't locate RT/Tickets_Local.pm}) {
            die $@;
        };

The compiler will drag in your _Local version if it exists.  Also, it
simply has to be somewhere that the compiler can find it, and not
necessarily in the same directory as the module you are extending.
