http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/LanguageTutorial#variable-scope
does not mention that syntax as far as I can see. It tells us how
scoping works, but no mention about putting variable assignments
inside parenthesis between the class name and the opening brace of
the class body. And more tellingly, actually trying it with Puppet
errors out with the message "Syntax error at '('; expected ')'".
That section of the language tutorial *does* show how the original
poster should solve his problem. But it is not with the syntax that
Trevor suggested.
