You have the month and day swapped - there's no 27th month in a year:

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'time'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Time.parse('27/12/2007')
ArgumentError: argument out of range

HTH,

i have a canadian layout and my regional settings on my computer is
set to dd/mm/yyyy. strange that ruby cannot get this one right. all my
office apps and my oracle and mysql databases now recognise this
format on my computer.

Here ya go, eh.

Time.parse(@@config["date"].gsub(/(.*?)\/(.*?)\/(.*)/, '\2/\1/\3'))
