What is PEAR?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the use of PEAR?
How can I get it working with localhost IIS

I am using PHP Version 4.3.2
Server API CGI/FastCGI
I've a PEAR directory in c:/php4/includes/pear
whenever I enable it in php.ini, I get errors in my php applications e.g.,

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'mainfile.php' (include_path='C:\php4\includes\pear\') in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\nuke\html\includes\counter.php on line 25

other examples of error:

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'PEAR.php' (include_path='.;../phpwebsite\lib\pear\') in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\phpwebsite\lib\pear\HTML\Template\IT.php on line 22

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/path/to/xoops/directory/include/common.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\xoops\html\mainfile.php on line 60

Maybe take a look at this
[pear.php.net...]

Pear is a set of classes (or little bits of programs that can't be used just by themselves, but can be coded into other programs to give them more functionality) for PHP. The install to windows should be real easy, I do believe an automatic installer is included in recent versions of PHP.
