Any additional information you'd like to impart

I have installed the same module on both centos 6 and 7 but with different ruby version (2.1) and it worked fine.

This is an issue with CentOS 6 shipping with Ruby 1.8.7:

voxpupuli/plumbing#36

[alfredodeluca]

Thanks Peter. So can I upgrade ruby on the puppet agent without upgrading puppet itself?

[bastelfreak]

Puppet3.8 works with ruby 2.1 and older. You can upgrade ruby without upgrading puppet, but this is probably also painful on centos. Puppet3 is end of life by the end of this month, I recommend to upgrade your puppet version. Puppet4 ships with his own ruby version.

Closing this since we don't support puppet 3 on this module based on the metadata.json
