That's correct. Per https://github.com/puppetlabs/hiera-puppet:

"For the moment the Gem install will place the Puppet Parser Function
where Puppet cannot find it, you should copy it out and distribute it
to your master using Pluginsync or something similar"

However, I would recommend using puppet module path and puppet
pluginsync rather than copying the files to puppet's gem path. If your
module path is /etc/puppet/modules, the following command should get
the function in a location where puppet can find and compile:

ln -s /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-puppet-0.3.0
/etc/puppet/modules/hiera-puppet

If you want to check out the lastest version of hiera:

git clone git://github.com/puppetlabs/hiera-puppet.git
/etc/puppet/modules/hiera-puppet

HTH,

Nan
