PEAR PHP project. Composer also supports the installation of PEAR packages. Some people of the PHP community argue for replacing PEAR in favor of composer.

PECL includes modules for XML-parsing, access to additional databases, mail-parsing, embedding Perl or Python in PHP scripts and for compiling PHP scripts. PECL spun off from the PEAR Project in October 2003.
