I don't have such command in my Windows by default. Neither I have it on my Linux. I would have to install PEAR for that, right? Even only to know what's inside.

A little note about executing a phar file, no phar extension is required to execute a phar archive, neither to create it (see http://pear.php.net/package/PHP_Archive) . We distribute pear.phar since a couple of stable releases already. It is easier/faster to create it using pecl/phar. I'm sure there is a big difference (performence) when a phar is executed with or without pecl/phar, it is slow anyway. I see this extension as a packager tool only (where end users are packages user). NB: Recent changes in the extensions may be available only in the extension, I did not follow its recent developments. --Pierre
