Puppet users - Nov 2012 - Sending output to debug level log from custom parser function

Hi,

I created a custom function by reading the doc from here 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_functions.html

It''s a function to return proper filepath for a specific node by
looking
at various stuff like facter, absolute path location etc. Now, I have a 
requirement to log the actual path returned by the function in 
/var/log/puppet/puppet.log.

How can I do that? Does this question better suited for puppet-dev or it 
can be done easily? I want to use the function that''s used to send
debug
log in custom parser function.

You can simply use `debug "Hello World!"` inside the block passed to
the `newfunction` method.  You can see how the built in template()
function logs debug messages at:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/3.0.1/lib/puppet/parser/functions/template.rb#L11

Hope this helps,
