[R] as.date - german date format

[Konga]

Hi,

I have a data.frame with the following variable:
$  xx  :Factor w/ 66 levels "01.02.2006","01.03.2006",..: 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3

now I´d like use "as.date" on it - if I comprehend the instructions on
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/library/base/html/format.Date.html
it should work like this:

as.date(xx, "%d.%m.%Y") - but it doesn´t...

the survival Package ist loaded - is there a problem with the german format?
Or did I understand something wrong?

Much better than tranforming the format from to data would be to import it
in the right format.
Is there a parameter for read.csv to get it as a date from the beginning?
