All,

I use hiera in an straight way, for example:

---
mode: '0644'

that makes easy to do:

file { somefile:
     mode => hiera('mode')

in yaml:

---
file_list:
    - file1:
      fname: 'config.conf'
      fpath: '/path/to/destination/'
      fmode: '640'
      fowner: 'sam'
      fgroup: 'admin'
  - file2:
      fname: 'parameters.xml'
      fpath: '/path/to/destination/'
      fmode:  '660'
      fowner: 'tom'
      fgroup:  'finance'

Is it possible to handle this right now? What can I do in order to get a
list of items that contain attributes?  I understand taht this type of
parsing happens for example when an ENC produces YAML in this way:

clasees:
   myapp:
      parameter1: 'value1'
      parameter2: 'value2'

Can I do something similar to this with puppet-hiera?

And also, is the a decent piece of *documentation* for hiera and
hiera-puppet? there seems to be almost nothing but fragmented
documentation. I am happy top read and research all this in my own but I
have struggled finding documentation.

Many thanks in advance!
