After a sucessfull upgrade, you can install the needed package pear install packagename > Looks like I have to just use a simpler PHP as I use a simpler Perl.

Not you can install ALL pear packages manually, and upgrade them manually too. In both method (manually or with pear manager), your include path must include the folder where the pear packages are installed (as well CPAN need the folder for the cpan module). > Pardon all the reference to Perl.
