Puppet users - Dec 2011 - Re: Variables not inheriting

PS.  When I put the variables for testing in the class, the variable is 
working fine.

Subject: Variables not inheriting

I am having a weird problem on a new (rhel6) puppet server.  I can not seem
to be able to define custom variable.  Neither template nor class is able to
use this variable.

Puppet version: 2.7.9
server: RHEL 6.1

here is snippet of what I am doing:

node ''something'' inherits  env_prod {
        $mode = "PROD"
}

then I use the following in a class:

class hosts {
        file {"hosts":
                         path => "/etc/hosts",
                         owner => "root",
                         group => "root",
                         mode => 644,
                         content =>
template("env/${environment}/${mode}/etc/hosts.erb"),
                         }
}


what is weird is that this use to work perfectly when I did it on RHEL5.5
with puppet 2.6.

any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thank you very much
