That's probably codling moths. If you google on codling moth, you'll find
quite a variety of competing methods for codling moth control, depending on
whether you favour the 'organic' or 'natural' or chemical approach, too many
to list here.

Thanks for response. I have googled on "codling moth" pear and got
68000 hits.....
But it seems like this is something else, no entrance hole, and the
worms are
smaller. Codling moth seems to be what I use to call "apple worms"
Nearby apple trees are not infected.
The pears becomes black and drops when they are about the size of a
hazel nut.
