I'm planning to customize our ticket escalation criteria a bit.   This sysconfig setting looks like exactly what I want.

I'm not very fluent in Perl's style of inheritance but I have noticed that OTRS code uses the @ISA array.  Therefore, I assume I only need to implement the functions I need in my module and add the base Ticket.pm to my @ISA array (so that all others will be found in the base Ticket.pm).   Is this the most manageable way?

I searched online for an example but didn't see one via Google or the lists.
