Description:
------------
I did a "pear upgrade-all" and am running pair-1.4.11.
I tried to install HTML_Table and got the following error ...

No handlers for package.xml version 2.0

I have searched and have seen some others with this problem without a resolution.

The only suggested solution calls for upgrading the PEAR package ... but, I have already done that and the problem persists. Help.

Test script:
---------------
%pear upgrade pear

Okay. Thanks ... The "pear -V" command was useful. It indicated that i was using an old version of PAIR ...
When I looked at the "pair" shell script I discovered that it was not finding my local installation of pair (I am on a shared server environment.) So, I simply had to set the following env variable before running pair and all is well in my world.

export PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR=/path/to/my/pair/installation

In the previous comment, PAIR should be PEAR. :-)
