Hello Richard, I don't think people really understand me correctly. Pear is small in comparison to the Java Platform or the .NET Framework. My library extremephp.org is probably around 4-5 times bigger than PEAR and it's not even close to being finished yet. There could be much more to develop to make PHP an even greater language to use, but it's not keeping up.
