Whenever you use some command or address some file in a script or within a 
program, you should use the full path - starting with '/' so instead of 
lcalling it 'd' in the script or program, call it '/usr/local/bin/dot'

You can also explicitly add /usr/local/bin to your path and/or your
script's path.  Something like

set path=$path:/usr/local/bin
or set path=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/GraphViz.pm

or whatever you want the path to be.

The syntax may vary some between different shells.
