CPAN has much much higher visibility among perl developers than PEAR among PHP devs. Cpan has reached the point where it is considered *the* source for perl packages, where the same can't clearly be said about PEAR (one needs to look no further than this thread).While that is so, I think alot of people see some of the problems I list above. Additionally CPAN has been around just a tad bit longer.
