Puppet users - Jan 2009 - creating types with parameters from a hash (or array)

Hello,

I want to create many symbolic links as provided by an external_nodes
script.

I started with a simple manifest to create a type for each element in
an array:

$files = [ ''/tmp/one'', ''/tmp/two'' ]
file { $files:
  ensure => ''/tmp/common_target'',
}

but, of course, this creates symlinks to the same file. I need
symlinks to diferent files. my question is: what about parameters? the
next example does not work, it just uses the last target for all
files:

$files = [ ''/tmp/one'', ''/tmp/two'' ]
$targets = [ ''/tmp/target1'', ''/tmp/target2''
]
file { $files:
  ensure => $targets,
}

my external_nodes yaml looks like this:

parameters:
  symlinks:
    /tmp/one:
       ensure: target1
    /tmp/two:
       ensure: target2
classes:
- foo_class

and my dream manifest is:

file {$symlinks}

is it a new feature? if it is new I want to develop it, but need some
hints ...

thanks!
