With the Zend Core standard package there is no way to get PEAR packages installed (on Windows installations).
You can use zend framework, it has all packages same as PEAR, zend code comes with the zend framework.
that's okay, but what if I want to use Zend Core ( and Zend platform ) to debug some pear-related projects ( in my case there are some symfony based projects)?
