I got it from
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/simple_text_patterns
which now is dead, but can be read at
https://web.archive.org/web/20130318200928/http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/simple_text_patterns
I created manifests/classes/replace.pp and put in
# Replace a perl regexp with a string:
define replace($file, $pattern, $replacement) {
$pattern_no_slashes = slash_escape($pattern)
$replacement_no_slashes = slash_escape($replacement)
exec { "/usr/bin/perl -pi -e
's/$pattern_no_slashes/$replacement_no_slashes/' '$file'":
onlyif => "/usr/bin/perl -ne 'BEGIN { \$ret = 1; } \$ret = 0 if
/$pattern_no_slashes/ && ! /$replacement_no_slashes/ ; END { exit \$ret; }'
'$file'",
}
}

Very interesting use of "->". Thanks =)
