Rails - Feb 2006 - Reading cookies - weird problem

Hello All,
I set a cookie with the following code  -
  cookies[:test1] = "abc"

..and when I try to read it with @cookies[:test1] in one of my views, I 
get a nil string. The only thing that seems to work is

@cookies["test1"].value

Has anyone run into similar issue?

Thanks
- Sree
