If I put a new path into my $PATH variable like so:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/pear/bin/

I can then access the programs in my pear bin. Works as expected, but while I can do this:

phpunit -version

phpunit being a program that resides in my pear bin, I cannot do this:

sudo phpunit -version

as I get the following error:

sudo: phpunit: command not found

does the sudo command not have universal access?

I'm not sure about this , but try it.

Maybe you must add the same PATH PATH=$PATH:$HOME/pear/bin/ to the root's PATH variable.

sudo -i

echo $PATH

to see the PATH directories for root.

Then as you are in root account do

ls -a

and you will see .bashrc and .profile files for root account.

Add the line PATH=$PATH:$HOME/pear/bin/ to the appropriate file.
