So I've hit a limitation in puppet where I can't modify a variable after
its been set. how do I work around this. I have a manifest that I need
to be able to build up a list of contacts based on certain facts about a
server.
Here is an example of my (non functioning) code? Can anyone give me a
suggestion of how to work around this limitation?

You could do something like this:
$contactgroups = [
'Windows Server Admins',
if 'sql' in $hostname.downcase or $wl_server_type == 'db' {
'Microsoft SQL DBAs'
},
if $wl_app in $btssServers or 'adfs' in $hostname.downcase {
'BT Systems Support'
},
if $wl_app == 'hea' {
'HEAT Admins'
}
].filter |$x| { $x =~ NotUndef }.join(',')
It creates an array with the values, each "if" produces a value to
include or undef. The "filter" creates a new array where all undef
values are dropped, and finally, it calls join to separate them with a
comma.

In a language like Python I could just append to the string... but I
can't modify the variable at all in Puppet after its been created.
