Rails - Nov 2005 - date_select oddness

Hello,
I have a problem when with this tag in view:
   <%= date_select :customdate, nil %>

In the controller there is:
   d = Date.new
   d = params[:customdate]
   render_text "#{d.inspect}"

The problem is the :customdate doesnt get transformed
into Date, instead I get this:
   {"(3i)"=>"29", "(1i)"=>"2005",
"(2i)"=>"11"}

Any ideas how to solve it?

Best regards,
Tom

Shouldn''t it be:

d = Date.new( params[:customdate] )

??

Nope. This throws an error:
NoMethodError in Forms#korpus_create_row

undefined method `-'' for {"(3i)"=>"30",
"(1i)"=>"2005",
"(2i)"=>"11"}:HashWithIndifferentAccess

I have changed it into:
   <%= date_select :row, :customdate %>
> The problem is the :customdate doesnt get transformed

"(1i)"=>"2005", "(2i)"=>"11"}
With this little function

def date_select_to_date(struct,name)
   Date.new(struct["#{name}(1i)"].to_i,
     struct["#{name}(2i)"].to_i,
     struct["#{name}(3i)"].to_i)
end

I can get the date in the controller:

   d = date_select_to_date(params[:row],''customdate '')
