True or not, it's importance is overblown. It's a contest that's supposed to test original work. Any contest has to have rules on reusing other pieces of code, especially those not written by the contestant. George
IMNSHO, using PEAR should be akin to using a PHP extension, like SimpleXML or MySQL. It is, after all, installed by default.
If using PEAR libs is allowed than any libs should be allowed (e.g. I should be able to use Propel). I think using other components should be allowed, just taken into consideration when judging. Of course this is a PHP5 contents; not sure you'll be winning any prizes by using something that's returning PEAR_Error :) Hans
