Puppet users - Jan 2012 - passing argument to a class or a module

I see plenty of examples of classes or modules such as ntp or sudo or
ssd. But none of these examples pass an argument to a class or a
module. If I wanted  to pass the rpm name to a module or a class, what
would be the call to that class in site.pp and what would be the
class  definition in init.pp?

Thank you

You can''t pass arguments to classes, only defines.

whoa, my bad. I learned puppet before 2.6 

Now I don''t know why there is a distinction between classes and
defines.
I''ll have to read up.

Thanks

Classes can only be declared once while defines can be declared
multiple times. So if you wanted two vhost files a define would be
needed.
