How to parse a date in the dd.mm.yyyy format?

I try to parse a date in the dd.mm.yyyyformat: Globalize.parseDate(value, "dd.MM.yyyy", "en"); but globalize crashes with errors:

Uncaught Error: E_INVALID_PAR_TYPE: Invalid options parameter (dd.mm.yyyy). Plain Object expected.

Linked script files:

<script src="/Scripts/cldr.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/globalize.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/globalize/message.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/globalize/number.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/globalize/date.js"></script>

How can I fix it?

You need to pass the function a value and then an options object.

Globalize.locale('en');
Globalize.parseDate(value, {
    skeleton: 'dd.MM.yyyy'
});

You can find the documentation for this here.
