first attempt at PEAR installation:
PHP 5.2.4 - WinXP Sp2 - Apache 2.2
the Initial instruction, post-installation [local, vs system-wide] tells me (not verbatim) "...old version found... remember to use ./php/pear.bat instead...."
hence, the following command. note the feedback.
C:\PHP>pear.bat

ERROR: The default config file is not a valid config file or is corrupted.
previous to this failure, i had tried a pear installation [same system, opting for "syste-wide" install however] on PHP 5.2.3 which claimed pear is "at my command". c:> pear
but attempting to use it resulted in "no command by that name", (this of course after verifying PATH Env Vars were "correct" per instruction, restarting the sys, etc.) so i tried starting over w/ the newer PHP version.
what do you suggest as a next step in trying to get PEAR Installer to function properly (so i might install, HTTP_Request, and other PEAR extensions via CLI commands)
BTW-- the http://go-pear.org is apparently offline, though whether that update applies to my situation, i do not know.
