You can use Puppet's generate() function to get a listing of the files on
the master, and manipulate the result into on File resource for each of the
source files. Probably the built-in split() function will be useful for
that, and perhaps also regsubst(). Alternatively, you could package some
or all of that into a custom function.
You might also find it to your advantage to wrap up the per-file details in
a defined type, which you can instantiate with an array title derived from
your file list:
mymodule::hostname_file { $filenames: }
Or I guess the newfangled way to go about it would involve the each()
function (Puppet 4 or future parser only).
