Pear Pkgs for Offline WinXP Machine

[webguynow]

I've got one computer in a remote-location without Internet access and
I'd like to get some Pear Pkgs installed on it.

What happens during the "pear install" process ?
Is an Inet connection absolutely neccessary or could I get the modules
first, and install on this offline machine ?
If I remember right, there's a tar process, even for WinXP.

Any one have details ? Please comment - thanks.

You can install offline.

You can download the packages in .tgz format from PEAR and copy them to your
offline machine.
