I found the answer:
from the command line,
either http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php or
php -r "readfile('http://pear.php.net/go-pear');" > go-pear
php go-pear
which creates pear.bat so you can install modules, and also installs several
default modules like
'DB',
'Net_Socket',
'Net_SMTP',
'Mail',
'XML_Parser',
'PHPUnit'
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.cli.php (which instructs you to)
pear install modulename
