I use this pattern:
$_exists = inline_template("<%= File.exists?('$f') %>")
case $_exists {
"true": { ... }
"false": { ... }
}
I probably use it too much, in fact, but writing a custom fact for
every file I need to check becomes tedious and hard to maintain (we
do this in quite a few places).
For things like this, irb and inline_template are your friends.
