I might be wrong Ohad but my understanding is that puppet configurations are
declarative and therefore have to be compiled. It probably helps to stop
thinking about your define as being a function, executed at run time, and
think of it as a macro that is substitued all over the place. It is not a
function being run.
You could write a custom function for this but I think the easiest is if you
simply do
$dirs =["/tmp","/tmp/a","/tmp/b"]
dir { $dirs: }
then it will be available to your template. I haven't tried this though it
may not work.
