I cannot comment on the general state of PEAR as I'm using only a few of
its packages, but you may have a look at the website of the packages
you're using. E.g. HTML_Form[1] has been superseded by
HTML_QuickForm2[2], which seems to be still maintained. And that what
it's all about: as long as there are maintainers for the packages, PEAR
is not dead. I believe that every helping hand is welcome as usual for
OSS. ;)
