I understand the first two steps are necessary but I don't see why you need to serialize the data instead of just storing the xmlrpc data. I probably missed something ? If you store xmlrpc data instead of serialized php vars, other apps could use this cache, which could prove useful. It's easier to find xmlrpc decoder than php unserialiser these days. This wouldn't be a problem if the pear installer could speak xmlrpc. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
