Quick answers. I assume you are running Unix, since that's what it
sounds like from your post:

* if you have an idl_setup script that runs in your login files, then
right after that, put the following statement:

setenv IDL_PATH $HOME/mymodule:$IDL_PATH

or the equivalent in your shell language

* if you are using a default "idl" script, then you won't be able to
set the path variable in your login ahead of time. You can still
use a start-up script. In your login file put something like this:

setenv IDL_STARTUP ~/.idl_startup.pro

and in .idl_startup.pro put this:

!PATH = '~/mymodule:' + !PATH
