Thanks Michael for the quick answer.
Maybe I am missing some important things, but does this mean there is no
other way to pass configuration parameters to a PEAR than editing the
descriptor file inside the PEAR and change the initial settings?
PEARs are very likely to be used by a lot of unexperienced users, so I
hope that there is another way that does not violate a PEAR's
"black-box" property.
