Subject: Convert String to date

Hi,

I have a string object

"27/07/06"

that is referenced in this variable: start_date

what I want to do is convert this string into a date, and add a day to
it.

Something like this

 start_date = start_date.to_d
 end_date =   start_date + 1
 
 but I cannot see a to_date method. Could anyone please help?
