Newb needs help .bashrc settings

[PolZom]

I work on a server and another user has a bin folder where a whole bunch of shell scripts and perl scripts are that I need. I currently have to either go to his bin folder in the terminal or copy them somewhere in my folders.

I want to set it up so I can be in my data folder and do something like:

./perlscript ARGV[0] ARGV[1]

where the ARGV files are in the folder I am currently in and the perlscript is in the other users bin folder.

I also would like to be able to use that command for scripts in my bin folder without having to execute them from there. (saves typing out the arduous /home/usr/data/etc...)

I am guessing it has to do with the PATH in .bashrc, but I have no idea!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
