[Rt-devel] Problem redefining hashes in Tickets_Local.pm

[Michael Gilbert]

Yes, I am setting the package name in Tickets_Local.  I should mention 
that all previous changes have worked fine in Tickets_Local and all the 
other _Locals, but all those changes were to existing  or new 
subroutines, not hash definitions. 

For example, the &_TagLimit routine mentioned below is read without any 
problems, and it only exists in the _Local, not the _Overlay.  It's only 
the hash definitions that I can't seem to add to.

Thanks,
Michael
