It would probably have been less troublesome, in the long run, if Puppet classes had been called something else. Too late now. One thing you need to get used to is that Puppet's DSL is a declarative language, not an imperative one. Some of the things you want, there, aren't actually appropriate. The Puppet DSL works well enough when you use it to create the simplest complete description of what you have. Try and use it like Java or Ruby and it'll fight you all the way. -- Bruce The ice-caps are melting, tra-la-la-la.
