Resource declarations do not establish new scopes, so variable references
inside mean the same thing they do outside. Type *definitions* do
establish scopes, however, so if you have enough of these to make it
worthwhile then you can do it like so:
define app::link () {
file { $title:
ensure => 'link',
path => "/etc/app/${title}",
target => "/usr/app/${title}"
# $name would work in place of $title, too
}
}
class app::config {
app::link { [ 'a.conf', 'b.conf' ]: }}
