Whoops.  I forgot to post a solution for that leading "0" in the month:

require "date"

str = '2007.09'

pieces = str.split(".")
begin
    year = Integer(pieces[0])

    month = pieces[1]
    if month[0, 1] == '0'
        month = Integer(month[1,1])
    else
        month = Integer(month)
    end
rescue ArgumentError
    puts "invalid date string: couldn't convert to ints"
end

begin
    d = Date.new(year, month, 1)
    puts d.year
    puts d.month
rescue ArgumentError
    puts "invalid date args, e.g. day = 32"
end
