Yes, the php-mysql package is installed just fine. Sometime maybe I'll get into pear, but at the moment I need to set up the machine and get it working with a lot of scripts that have long since been written. I'm really not interested in embarking in another direction, thank you. Aditionally I don't think this should be such a thorny problem that it reqires changing methods.

I makes portability easier, and I prefer working with them as well. the classes are in /usr/lib/php/ or on pear.php.net.
