Also versioning (PHP4/5) should be considered in the package namings.
Some new PEAR package will only work with PHP5, some work with both.
I am not sure how PERL solves this versioning problem, if it exists
there

I also want to note that the PEAR package in Debian should work as the
CPAN one. Installation of PEAR packages via "pear install $package_name"
should be done in /usr/local... but debian pear packages put them into
/usr..
the php.ini just needs to know both paths in the "include_path" option
