Are you getting this error on startup or during the execution of the

The new() method is defined in RT::Condition

Generally, this error means some typo between:

The filename
The package
>    package RT::Condition::OnAfterHoursCreate;
The exec module
>                 ExecModule           => 'OnAfterHoursCreate',

Since at least 2 of those look fine, I'd double-check the filename and
permissions on the file (and on the directories leading to the file).

Incidentally, if you're going to write a number of these, you may find
it useful to write an initialdata file:

cat > customconditions
@ScripConditions = (
        {Name                 => 'On After Hours Create',
        Description          => 'A ticket is created after hours',
        ExecModule           => 'OnAfterHoursCreate',
        ApplicableTransTypes => 'Create',
        }
);
./sbin/rt-setup-database --action insert --datafile customconditions
Which is a slightly simpler way to register your custom condition.
