Well, how do I use the content of a variable in regex?

$username = "user1"
file {  "userdata.tar.bz2":
                source => "puppet://$server/modules/$module/
userdata.tar.bz2",
                ensure => $users ? {
                                /$username/ => absent,
                                default => present,
                        },
}

$users is a custom fact that contains all local users:

users => at avahi bin daemon dnsmasq ftp games haldaemon lp mail
messagebus nobody ntp polkituser postfix pulse root sshd suse uuidd
wwwrun man news uucp puppet user1

When I hardcode "user1" into the regex my test works fine and the file
is removed.

But things like /$variable/ or /\$variable/ or /#{variable}/ just
don't work.
Is it even possible in version 0.25.4?
