indeed, not ideal especially with environments.

Ages ago I wrote a little function to bring to template() the same behaviour
as source => [] I dont know if it still works on modern puppet but it
was handy

Great, that's done the trick, thanks

Just one thing to note. file() takes an absolute file path (i.e. 
/etc/puppet/modules/snmp/templates/snmpd.conf.erb). Spent a few minutes 
trying to figure out the error I was getting before finally RTFM.

The file() function returns the content of the first file that
exists, so you can use it with inline_template():

file {
"/etc/snmpd.conf":
ensure => "present",
content => inline_template(
file(
"puppet:///modules/snmp/snmpd.conf.$::hostname.erb",
"puppet:///modules/snmp/snmpd.conf.erb",
)
),
  }
