The best way I've found to handle folders that contain items puppet later needs
to act on is to use fpm to turn them into an rpm/deb and add them to a repo.
This way you're not using puppet as a file server -- something you should avoid
wherever possible. Puppet can use a package resource to install the entire
folder, and then notify an exec resource that runs the script.
If you'd rather not have the package in a repo, you can put the package in
place using a file resource and have the package resource require the file
resource.
