If you want I can write these tests for you. Just tell where from to start.

But what about hostings with PEAR installed? I doubt they will allow executing "pear info" script. My shell session to upgrade scripts on such server will be something like uploading package, then tar -xzvf package.tgz So if I want to upload only stable version - I will have to choose packages without any prefixes. It is much better than checking all available files from machine, which have PHP+PEAR installed. PEAR 1.4.0 allows easy synchronization of a remote host with a local copy. No shell scripts needed.

I reiterate my first point - please do not make suggestions that clearly show you haven't done more than 10% of the research that needs to be done to understand how things work.
