php posix packages centos yum

I am running CentOS 5.2 and using yum to manage packages. I have had little luck installing php-posix but know with almost 100% certitude that it is a real and available package...somewhere. Has anyone had luck installing it?

FWIW, I am using the following:

sudo yum install -y php-posix

Update: I've realized that this may be an issue with my host (Slicehost) as I do in fact have cli, posix, and pcntl enabled for my PHP version (5.2.9)

While the question was for centos, notice that for fedora the php-posix package is provided by php-process from fedora 11. I assume this change also will hit centos at some point.
