pear path help

hi does anyone know how to detect their pear install path im on shared hosting at the moment and they said the include path was /usr/bin/perl/ ive tried everything to connect to this. the root directory of my account is home/andrew/public_html how do i access pear or is it possible to find out what the full path to pear is???? by the way ive tried the following

php Code:

Original - php Code
<?php require_once '......usrbinperlpear'; $user = 'andrew'; $pass = 'xk51pd23'; $host = 'localhost'; $db_name = 'andrew_site'; $dsn = "mysql://$user:$pass@$host/$db_name"; $db = DB::connect($dsn, false); $sql="select * from users"; $result = $db->query($sql); $rownum="5"; $row = $result->fetchrow(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC, $rownum); echo $row[username]; ?>

<?php
require_once '......usrbinperlpear';
 
$user = 'andrew';
$pass = 'xk51pd23';
$host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'andrew_site';
$dsn = "mysql://$user:$pass@$host/$db_name";
$db = DB::connect($dsn, false);
$sql="select * from users";
$result = $db->query($sql);
$rownum="5";
$row = $result->fetchrow(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC, $rownum);
echo $row[username];
?>

and alls i get is an file cannot be found error when my host has assured me that the php pear package is in that directory. Any help would be appreciated.

RE: pear path help

Are you sure they understood that you meant pear and not perl?
Typically all pear modules will be installed to the default include directory. It really depends on how they've set up the server. If they have individual include dirs for each virtual host, they may just need to add a symbolic link to yours to enable pear access, or there are other ways though I know little about it.
