I should reiterate that you should use the interactive ruby shell, irb to test your code to make sure that it runs within ruby.
You really should be using ruby for everything that you possibly can. If you can learn bash programming then ruby should be a piece of cake and provide readability down the road and actually make it a lot more fun and bring sense to the coding and structure within puppet too.
