[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Perl Module Help Needed

[Alan Simon]

Jason -

Thanks for your response.

OpenILS::Const does not define locally-defined parameters (those not in 
the seed values script).  Do I need to modify OpenILS::Const to add 
them, or is there another way for modules to get the locally-defined 
parameter values?

Since the module calls the event file:

$e->allowed('SET_CIRC_LOST'. $circ->circ_lib) or return $e->die_event;

I either need to edit the file or remove the command.  What would be the 
ramifications of removing it?

Alan
