About PEAR and PECL

PEAR stands for PHP Extension and Application Repository. PEAR is a system that allows easy distribution of PHP code packages. Like CPAN for Perl, PEAR allows developers to easily reuse others' code. PECL stands for PHP Extension Community Library and is a similar system that contains C code used to extend PHP's functionality.

PEAR includes a large number of PHP components for many different common problems/scenarios - including authentication, database tools, Gtk, networking, file formats, validation tools, etc.
