User input using exclusively <iostream>

[lrwham]

I need to be able to accept user input of the date in the format MM/DD/YYYY, exactly. I am limited exclusively to the <iostream> and <iomanip> libraries for this project.

I understand, at least partially, how this can be achieved by using the string class, but our class is not allowed to use the string library for this project.

void Date::Input()
{
	int m = 0, d = 0, y = 0;

	do
	{
	cout << "Please enter the date in the form MM/DD/YYYY	->";

/*    I have tried quite a few things here, but my understanding of how to use
      the input stream is obviously limited */ 

	} while(!ValidDate(m,d,y));
}

I tried using a char array, but I could not find a method that worked.

thanks

edit*
For clarification, this must be achieved in a single line of input, in other words with a single tap of the return/enter key.

cin << m; will read a number. When a char that is not a part of a number is found, it will stop. In, for example, "2/5/2011" that char is /. You then have to remove it (cin.get() or cin.ignore() ) and cin << d;

Thank you sir. I had tried that, but I clearly must have overcomplicated the issue.
The following is the functional code

void Date::Input()
{
	int m = 0, d = 0, y = 0;

	char mmddyy[] = "MM/DD/YYYY";
	do
	{
	cout << "Please enter the date in the form MM/DD/YYYY	->";
	cin >> m;
	cin.get();
	cin >> d;
	cin.get();
	cin >> y;
	} while(!Set(m,d,y));
}

Set() is a member function which returns true if the date was valid. It also sets the date if it is valid.
