You don't. More properly, you can change your profile (~/.bash_profile on 10.3+ by default, as I recall) to cd upon login from your home dir ~ (/Users/Name) to ~/directory, but that's very un-unixy. Why don't you work on your scripts, and when they're as you want, do: `$ mkdir ~/bin $ mv perlfile.pl ~/bin/ $ chmod +x ~/bin/perlfile.pl` [download] ... and then edit your .bash_profile or .bashrc to add ~/bin to your PATH?
