Subject: ParseDate in local format...

when a user choose a date from my datepicker calendar, an european 
local startdate is displayed in the text field :    30/7/2006,   fine !

As I must add 10 days to this starting date  to 'ajax-modify'  the ending date,
I wrote the following method :

def startdateChanged
	v = ParseDate::parsedate(@params["startdate"])               #=> 
[2006, 30, 7, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil]
	t = Time.local(v.compact*",")                 #=>   Sun Jan 01 
00:00:00 CET 2006   which is wrong
	@enddate = (t+(84600*10)).strftime("%d/%m/%Y")
	 render(:partial => "enddate")
end

the Time.local() is expected [2006, 7, 30, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil]

is there any way to parse the date according to a 'locale'  (fr_FR in 
this case)

thanks
