Puppet agent runs periodically to enforce the catalog, it can replace the file if it detects any changes, but it doesn't monitor the file to trigger runs. I suppose you can run puppet continuously (not recommended), but perhaps if you give some insight on what you are trying to accomplish would give us a better idea how to achieve it with puppet. Are you trying to trigger a puppet run when a particular file changes? Are you trying to monitor several files?
