[chef] Re: Re: Iterating over an array for a set of resources

You can pass any ruby data to your template via the variables option.
Erb templates support loops:

template "/tmp/foo" do
   source "foo.erb"
   variables( :org => org )
end

~~~ foo.erb

<% @org.each do |org| -%>
org is: <%= org %>
<% end %>


This is untested code i just wrote in the email, but the concept
should be communicated.
