message: y cual es el aporte que hacen uds desvirtuando un tema en ves de hablar de el??
por mi parte no me queda algo claro, en los parametros que se le deben pasar al array dentro de smtp en pear, existe uno que se le debe agregar al wiki, al que estoy viendo en forma particular:
 $wgSMTP = array(
  'host'     => "localhost",
  'IDHost'   => "domain for MessageID",
  'port'     => 25,
  'auth'     => false,
  'username' => "my_user_name",
  'password' => "my_password"
 );
el que esta marcado en negrita, se supone que es un parametro para smtp definido en pear, pero en la pagina del proyecto pear , en a seccion parameter, no aparece ese parametro por ningun lado en smtp, asi, alguno de uds podria, por favor, decirme en que consiste ese parametro? y que efecto tiene en el smtp?, ademas. el codigo anterior, va dentro del localsettings? o dentro de mail.php??
muchas gracias Elpct82

message: If PECL has spun off from PEAR why does the PECL page redirect back here, rather than having its own page?
What is the difference between the two? Can someone at least add a section explaining how they differ?

message: :Unlike the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) archives, which PEAR took as its model, PEAR packages do not have implicit dependencies so that a package's placement in the PEAR package tree does not relate to code dependencies. Rather, PEAR packages must explicitly declare all dependencies on other PEAR packages.
unless I miss something subtle in this description, I believe it is wrong.  Perl modules (CPAN or not) do not have any implicit dependencies, the package hierarchy is purely for human consumption, which is to say Foo-Bar distribution does not depend on Foo distribution, unless is is specified as such in the Makefile.PL, hence this is also an explicitly declared dependency system. --68.48.38.184 (talk) 03:17, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

message: > The last release is from March 2011 and its development might have been discontinued due to the popularity of Composer.
I guess the article is quite unclear in regards to (Pear vs. Pear2 vs. Pyrus) since the current last release of Pear2 seems to be from April 2020 with various releases over the years https://pear2.php.net/package/PEAR/download. Compared to that, the last commit to the Pyrus project on github is from July 2014 https://github.com/pyrus/Pyrus.
Unfortunately, I lack the background knowledge to update the article and clarify the current situation as is. Rehierl (talk) 12:45, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
