[Puppet Users] Case statements in a file directive

[Forrie]

I want to distribute a binary directory based upon whether the
"architecture" is 32- or 64-bit.   It appears I cannot nest a case
statement under file, however this is what I was attempting to do:

    file { "/usr/local/nagios/libexec":
            require => File['/usr/local/nagios'],
            ensure  => directory,
            owner   => 'root',
            group   => 'root',
            mode    => 655,
            recurse => true,
## APPEARS I can't do this
            case $architecture {
                /(i386|i586|i686/): {
                    source => "puppet:///files/32/usr/local/nagios/
libexec"
                }
                x86_64: {
                    source => "puppet:///files/64/usr/local/nagios/
libexec"
                }
            }
    }


I know I could reverse it and do a case first, then have redundant
file {} declarations, but that seems just that, redundant.

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong here.   The output in the
puppet logs isn't generally helpful with debugging.


Thanks.
