That would be spelled
$var = file("path/A")

You probably want a custom function to use in place of file(). You can
prototype it with an inline template:
$var = inline_template("<%=
# Ruby code here that evaluates to the wanted plaintext
%>")
Details will depend on the type of encryption, etc..

I don't understand. If the point is that the user doesn't have to type the
pass phrase, then doesn't that necessarily involve the file NOT being
password-protected? How is Puppet supposed to change that? Puppet is
involved only in managing the file itself; it has no role to play when the
file is *used*.
