But I'm certainly not going to mess with ini_set for other people's files. Here is what I do on one of my servers to tell Perl where to find my local modules: setenv PERL5LIB /usr/home/rede1/usr/local/lib/site_perl so when I run Perl at the command line it finds my modules. Works like a charm. I put the above path in my httpd.conf on that server so Apache knows where they are. I have no problems. But I don't understand how to do this with Pear. I know I can use an include path for simiple php classes I created and put it in the document root in .htaccess as such: php_value include_path ".:/home/pschon/php_modules" php_flag safe_mode on php_flag register_globals off And that works for Pear. But my system is using Pear from somewhere else, somewhere controlled by the ROOT server: > bash-2.05$ whereis pear > pear: /usr/bin/pear /usr/local/bin/pear > bash-2.05$ ls -la /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR.php > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24378 Jul 22 11:55 > /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR.php I cannot install a local version of Pear. What about determining the version of pear.

How can I set that include_path ?

Oh well. > bash-2.05$ perl -v > > This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i686-linux Yup, pretty straightfoward. No html. I'd really like to be able to get this to work but I reckon that people who work on PEAR are like the mod_perl folks all of whom work on private boxes where they work as system administrator or closely with them. I can use PEAR (at least whatever version my host has). I'm using this version of PHP > PHP Version 4.2.2 but I've got no clue what version of PEAR I'm using. I guess I could open PEAR.php to see that but is that related to the binary pear? Confused but not ready to give up. Peter
