Re: PEAR clases don't work with PHP 5.3

Martín, The problem with many of these packages is they are stable and list PHP4 as a supported version. The parent::__construct() syntax was not available until PHP5. To update these packages, maintainers would have to break PHP4 compatibility of a stable package. It is not an ideal situation. Many packages have taken the opportunity to release a version 2 with a cleaned-up fully PHP5 compatible API.
