I leave all fink stuff in /sw/bin

I put all my other installed stuff under /usr/local whenever possible

I always try and leave /usr/bin alone.

My path is set to something like ...

/usr/local/bin:/sw/bin:/usr/bin

The principle being to avoid any possibility of collisions between my stuff, fink's stuff, and system stuff ...

considering whether I'd be better off putting Perl in /sw/bin instead of
/usr/bin.

Any thoughts, pro or con?

Thanks,
