Munging fails on Integer data type when passed value is an integer or a float

In Ruby 3.2, the Integer and float data type no longer supports the =~ operator. Causing correct values passed to te munger to fail.

Running the unit tests on Ruby 3.2 shows all these errors. The log is attached to this issue.

• Platform All

@cthorn42 Is this software still actively maintained by Puppet? It needs some adjusting for use with Puppet 8. Is that planned?

I would really appreciate it if somebody told me what the plans are for this gem. I would guess that a lot of custom types that are built using this gem will fail on Ruby 3.2 and thus Puppet8. So I would guess somebody at Perforce/Puppet would have a plan for this?

@hajee I'm sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, I was out of the office when you initially pinged me on this ticket.
I created a ticket in our system, https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-11866, to track this issue.
I don't have an expected timeline but this issue is now on our radar. Thank you for reporting this.
