assuming we're talking about some PEAR code and not a PECL extension then
you can just grab the relevant files from the PEAR site and upload
them to your site same as you do all your other code ... PEAR stuff
doesn't actually need to be installed ... it just comes with a cool management
tool that makes keeping stuff up2date and avoiding multiple copies, easier.
