I didn't have the said download directory on my FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE machine, but going to /usr/ports/devel/pear and doing make all install clean sure does create the directory and the files inside. That directory is basically used when pear is downloading modules (hope that's what they're called).

Try "pear help" for more details. -- patrick
