Hey Pablo,
Just a question - do you have a NEED for it to be [01...99] with the
leading zero? If I understand correctly, the end result is the same, as
the range function will cast 01 to 1 and not BREAK because you pass it 01 -
correct? Maybe I'm missing why you would need to use 01 explicitly?

No problem. We've turned off Github Issues because we use our central
Redmine server for bug tracking -->
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/modules/issues Please feel free to
file any module tickets here!
