[clue] seeking puppet advice

[P B]

I'm relatively new to puppet enterprise but I believe the intent is to 
put code which performs the action under "manifests" and a second folder 
at the same level as manifests called "examples" in which you would have 
an init.pp file with a line as simple as: include aTest  Then you would 
invoke the example using puppet apply aTest/examples/init.pp to actually 
see a test run of the code. Once you decide it works and you want to 
apply it site wide you could add an include in site.pp in the same way.
