Problem with Cache Package installation

I have tried to install Cache package using pear install, but it gave me error stating that there is no package.xml as: # pear install http://pear.php.net/get/Cache downloading http://pear.php.net/get/Cache ... ...done: 26,775 bytes warning : you are using an archive with an old format no package.xml file after extracting the archive When I downloaded and extracted http://pear.php.net/get/Cache It creates PEAR_Cache-1.2 Directory and its contents(without package.xml) and following path and file under my pear directory. C:/home/php/pear/Cache/pea28.tmp/package.xml so it actually is /usr/local/php/C:/home/php/pear/Cache/pea28.tmp/package.xml I moved this package.xml into PEAR_Cache-1.2/ and tar -zcvf 'ed it, and then did # pear install Cache.tgz It failed to copy file inside the Cache/Container directory. I think the problem is that backslash is used where it's supposed to be slash for *unix system like my FreeBSD box. for example, <file role="php" baseinstalldir="Cache" md5sum="b672273d1681ba296d2234653e46 abc1">Container\dbx.php</file> needs to be <file role="php" baseinstalldir="Cache" md5sum="b672273d1681ba296d2234653e46 abc1">Container/dbx.php</file> Best regards, Naoki Shima
