Puppet users - Feb 2013 - Problems parsing array to a define in puppet manifest

I have searched wide and far for a solution to this issue, but didn''t
find
any real solution that I could use.

I am running puppet ver. 3.0.2, and my problem is when I try to parse an 
array to a define in a manifest.

My code looks as the following:

$testaccess = hiera(''testaccess'')

define testdefine () {
    notify{"Parsed following to define: ${name} : }
}

which gives the following output:
Parsed following to define: test1test2

It seems that the array is concatenated into one string, instead of parsing 
each entry in the array to the define.

Can anyone shed some light into this issue, would be much appreciated :)

/Marc

Sorry - forgot to supply the call to the define:

testdefine { "$testaccess": }

Again - any feedback on the usage here would be much appreciated.

You''re not showing how you pass the array to the define but I would
guess
you''re doing:

testdefine{"$testaccess": } this turns the array into a string, you
probably
should just remove the "s and make it testdefine{$testaccess:
}

Of course - why did I miss that?

Thanks for the resolution Pienaar, now I can move on with the manifest :)
