can i have PEAR with free account?

[selcane]

Hi,
I dont see anything in the cpanel allowing me to install any pear packages. Is it allowed with a free account?
Thanks
Edit:
i've tried to just include a pear library and it's not working:

<?php
require_once '/x10hosting/php2/pear/PEAR/Validate.php';
echo "help";

?>

I am not sure if its included or not.
Have you tried opening a ticket ( http://support.x10hosting.com/ ) and asking through the official support department?

Yes, I opened up a support ticket but no response. my website is supposed to launch on saturday and so i really need this sorted before hand.

the reason i need the pear packages is for a secure contact us form.
i wrote a contact us php script which uses pears mail package to prevent mail injection and the validate package to prevent spam.

doesnt every website have a contact us form? does x10hosting provide anything for this?
