I wrote some additional perl scripts which I want to use in the future on the whole Linux system from command line. Where (in which directory) should I put these perl scripts ? It shouldn't be the official directory but a private one. However when I put it e.g. in /home/myname/bin/ then the command is not known when I call it in e.g. directory /usr/ How can I add my own command directory to the officical search path for commands ?
