This becomes fun after a few years, especially if you're deciding to CVS your repository.. (it is a little harder to re-arrange directories in CVS.. although isn't impossible).

Personally I create a base ~/bin directory for storing my scripts.. why in bin? I can't really explain other than it's just evolved into a method that kinda works for me. Under that directory I have:

  /bin/script/perl
  /bin/script/bash

and then under that I have my scripts, each in a subdirectory.

There have been situations where I've written several scripts that are associated, in which case I start collecting them into their own subdirectory. E.g. I might have something like:

  /bin/script/perl/address
               .../chrstr
               .../cisco
               .../cisco/2600
               .../cisco/3500
               .../graphit
               .../icecream
               .../mechanize
               .../mechanize/autotrader
               .../mechanize/banking
               .../mechanize/webmail
               .../photoconvert
               .../test

I guess the best advice I can have is sit down and have a crack at your own method of organisation. Then after a year or so, review it! Good luck!
