Puppet users - Mar 2013 - Puppet to copy file instead of symlink

hi,
I want to have puppet copy a file, but I can only reference the file within 
the puppet configuration from the symlink. Have tried file => true and 
other options but puppet only copies the symlink. Is this possible?
many thanks,
David.

When you read the fine documentation located at:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#file
You will note that there is a "links" parameter on the file resource
that can be used to set the behaviour with regards to symlinks.
