I would imagine they could go into any directory that's in the PATH (e.g.
/sw/bin /usr/local/bin, ~/bin).  If this is something that you plan on
putting out as part of the general fink distribution, then you could put it
in a subdirectory, e.g. /sw/foo/bin, and then instruct the user in the
description file to modify their PATH setting to include /sw/foo/bin ;
geomview is an example of a current Fink package that takes this approach.

Subject: [Fink-devel] perl scripts

Hi,

I am working on a perlmodule package that installs a bunch of 
perlscripts (*.pl). I am uncertain where I should install them. The 
defualt location is /foo/bin, but I am not sure if they belong in 
/sw/bin. If they are there, then they will be in the path, and can be 
executed from everywhere. Would it be ok to put them in /sw/bin or 
should they be somewhere else (where)?

thanks,

- Koen.
