Actually the browser I was using was broken and simply wasn't accepting
cookies, that was the first problem. The second was that I had:

my %cookie = cookie('cookie_test');
my $value = $cookie{'value'};

when I should have had:

my $value = cookie('cookie_test');

as cookie('cookie_test') returns a string not a hash as I thought.

Thanks for the suggestion!
