If you have all information on the puppetmaster, you can use a function like generate() or template() to create the file there. In some cases -- especially when using export/collect -- the master doesn't have enough information readily available for such functions to work. Indeed in these latter cases, it is not only a limitation of puppet's core, but generally restritictions on information flow. Especially when trying to exchange information between independent modules.
