Hi Tom,

Suggest using a template as it provides a way to hack around issues
involving munging data and types by going straight to ruby. You could
use the inline_template() function, though I prefer having it in a
separate file for readability and for syntax checking.

Here's a quick and dirty hack that might work for you. Notice in the
template that the ruby code is between <% %> and the interpolation that
is being returned to $hn in your manifest is between <%= %>.

manifests/init.pp

class tl (
) {

  $h = {
    'k' => 'v',
  }

  $hn = template('tl/hack.erb')

  notify { 'asdf':
    message => "h = ${h}",
  }
  notify { "hn = ${hn}":
    require => Notify['asdf'],
  }
}


# templates/hack.erb
<% ht = {}
ht = @h.merge 'log' => "#{@ipaddress} local0"%>
<%= ht %>

# puppet apply -v tests/init.pp
Notice: h = {"k"=>"v"}
Notice: hn =
{"k"=>"v", "log"=>"10.0.1.3 local0"}

Best regards,
-g
