Getting Started with PEAR

Harry Fuecks has written an interesting and informative article on "Getting Started with PEAR," PHP's answer to Perl's CPAN library of reusable modules. PEAR or "PHP Extension and Application Repository" gives users a powerful library of object-oriented classes that can simplify web programmers' lives immensely. They run the gamut from form validation elements to database encapsulation and objectification to xml parsing. Good stuff.
