awk convert date format

Could you tell me how to convert the following dates?

If I have m/d/yyyy, I want to have
0m/0d/yyyy. I want my dates to always be 8 digits.

In other words, I want a 0 inserted whenever the month or day is a single digit.

My issue is first I need to use FS="," to get field $4 for the date portion,
within that I need to redefind FS="/" to evaluate the mm and dd portions.

Thanks,
brunc

ex. data
Code:
,,,12/6/2012,Harry H,Add,Add,Sys_RTH,111.222.333.777
,,,2/6/2012,Carry H,Add,Add,Sys_RTH,111.222.333.777

desired result.
Code:
,,,12/06/2012,Harry H,Add,Add,Sys_RTH,111.222.333.777
,,,02/06/2012,Carry H,Add,Add,Sys_RTH,111.222.333.777

HTML::FormHandler::Field::Date(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       HTML::FormHandler::Field::Date(3pm)

NAME
HTML::FormHandler::Field::Date - a date field with formats VERSION
version 0.40013 SUMMARY
This field may be used with the jQuery Datepicker plugin. You can specify the format for the date using jQuery formatDate strings or DateTime strftime formats. (Default format is format => '%Y-%m-%d'.) d - "%e" - day of month (no leading zero) dd - "%d" - day of month (two digit) o - "%{day_of_year}" - day of the year (no leading zeros) oo - "%j" - day of the year (three digit) D - "%a" - day name short DD - "%A" - day name long m - "%{day_of_month" - month of year (no leading zero) mm - "%m" - month of year (two digit) "%m" M - "%b" - month name short MM - "%B" - month name long y - "%y" - year (two digit) yy - "%Y" - year (four digit) @ - "%s" - Unix timestamp (ms since 01/01/1970) For example: has_field 'start_date' => ( type => 'Date', format => "dd/mm/y" ); or has_field 'start_date' => ( type => 'Date', format => "%d/%m/%y" ); You can also set 'date_end' and 'date_start' attributes for validation of the date range. Use iso_8601 formats for these dates ("yyyy-mm- dd"); has_field 'start_date' => ( type => 'Date', date_start => "2009-12-25" ); Customize error messages 'date_early' and 'date_late': has_field 'start_date' => ( type => 'Date, messages => { date_early => 'Pick a later date', date_late => 'Pick an earlier date', } ); If form has 'is_html5' flag active it will render <input type="date" ... /> instead of type="text" AUTHOR
