Puppet users - Jul 2012 - Number of characters in string/variable

I''m looking for a way to determine the number of characters in a 
string/variable.  I''ve tested some of the ruby length functions, but no
luck.  Has anyone done this before?

$ cat var_l.pp
$var = "i like pie"
$var_l = inline_template("<%= var.length %>")
notice("''$var'' is $var_l characters long")

$ puppet var_l.pp
notice: Scope(Class[main]): ''i like pie'' is 10 characters long
