Bug #17810: Can't substitute facts in cron command

Hello,
We are running puppet in different environments.
The environment is nothing but a fact which is set in a file under
/etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d
Now, based on the facts, different cronjobs should be deployed on different
hosts
example:
cron { "log_scrapper":
ensure => present,
command => '/usr/local/tools/bin/log_scrapper.pl
--logfile=/var/log/messages --subject="Errors ($::environment)"
[email protected]',
user => 'root',
minute => '*',
}
The above cronjob gets created, however, my subject line does not get replaced
with the correct environment. Instead it prints the exact string as in the cron
command.
It seems cron type does not support these variable substitutions
