Pearcmd installing on a new server

Hi, I've got a fresh Linux server needing all sorts of PEAR classes installing on it. Is there a nice systematic way of installing PEAR classes and their dependancies without having to go through by hand and do a: pear install xxxxxx Also what is the point in the download-all parameter? After downloading everything from PEAR (just to be on the safe side) I then find that install actually re-downloads the pakcages rather than looking locally first? I ca't see any explination of using the pear command in the online website documentation so would appreciate any tips/help please.
