[Puppet Users] Case statements in a file directive

I want to distribute a binary directory based upon whether the
"architecture" is 32- or 64-bit. It appears I cannot nest a case
statement under file, however this is what I was attempting to do:

file { "/usr/local/nagios/libexec":
require => File['/usr/local/nagios'],
ensure => directory,
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => 655,
recurse => true,
## APPEARS I can't do this
case $architecture {
/(i386|i586|i686/): {
source => "puppet:///files/32/usr/local/nagios/
libexec"
}
x86_64: {
source => "puppet:///files/64/usr/local/nagios/
libexec"
}
}
}


I know I could reverse it and do a case first, then have redundant
file {} declarations, but that seems just that, redundant.

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong here. The output in the
puppet logs isn't generally helpful with debugging.


Thanks.

Thank you, I appreciate it. Still learning all the interesting
nuances of this syntax. I'm not yet familiar with this $::

/(i386|i586|i686/) => should be
/(i386|i586|i686)/ =>

So, it's choking on this still at the line with the conditional:

Apr 17 18:58:17 test-system puppet-agent[7590]: Could not retrieve
catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not parse for
environment production: Syntax error at '{'; expected '}' at /etc/
puppet/manifests/classes/nagios-client-test.pp:20 on node test-
system.my-domain.com

The brackets look balanced to me.


file { "/usr/local/nagios/libexec":
require => File['/usr/local/nagios'],
ensure => directory,
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => 655,
recurse => true,
source => $::architecture {
/(i386|i586|i686/) => "puppet:///files/32/usr/local/
nagios/libexec",
x86_64 => "puppet:///files/64/usr/local/
nagios/libexec",
}
}
