Hi Leam,
I agree with Joseph's example here of using the case statement with the
addition that the default case be to fail(). This way the module will
work for explicitly defined platforms and fail on anything else. Better
to fail the compilation of the catalog than to make assumptions about
the agent and do the wrong thing.
Here's an example[1] from my nscd module.
You will generally just have variables set to different values based on
the platform, though you may have actual resources as well. Just be sure
that you are not duplicating resources in each of the cases as this
violates DRY[2].
