I find it humorous that you're Email address is "perl_programmer2001", yet
you don't know how to set your PATH variable...
Type "echo $PATH" and see if "/usr/local/bin" is included in it. If so, you
can do what I usually do, which is to add 'symbolic links' from there to
programs that I want to be able to execute easily.
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/msyql
OR you can use the 'standard' method of:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
