Henrik Lindberg commented on PUP-9005   Re: epp template fails to translate <%= ... %> when it is followed by a left parenthesis This bit: <% if $opensshCfg { -%> ### <% (\{ 'a' => [ 'b', 'c' ]}).each |String $my_hash, $my_array| { -%> ### <%= $my_hash %> <%= $my_array %> ### <% } When turned into puppet language is: if $opensshCfg { emitString("###")({ 'a' => [ 'b', 'c' ]}).each |String $my_hash, $my_array| { emitString("###") emitExpr($my_hash) emitExpr($my_array) emitString("###"(} The emitString, and emitExpr are internal instructions that are expressions that are specific to EPP. And I suspect that the problem is here: emitString("###")({ 'a' => [ 'b', 'c' ]}) As that may be seen as an attempt of calling the result of emitString with the literal hash as an argument. This is why an intermediate assignment makes it work (since it cannot possibly be a continuation of what is to the left of it). You could probably use a semicolon "statement separator" there instead of the assignment to clearly state to the parser that "don't try to take the rest as part of the same _expression_".
