I confess I'm surprised that you didn't find "real world" examples, but if they're really so rare then it's because those are not the tasks that people usually get hung up on.
I do recommend you read the Puppet reference manual (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/), and especially its sections on the Puppet language. If nothing else, you must at minimum read the one-page language summary, which in fact (and coincidentally) has an example of exactly what you're asking about.
