Adding a new entry to the PATH variable in ZSH

Question

I\'m using zsh and I\'m trying to add a new entry (/home/david/pear/bin) to the PATH variable but I don\'t know how.

The thing that confuse

Answer 1

Here, add this line to .zshrc:

export PATH=/home/david/pear/bin:$PATH

EDIT: This does work, but ony's answer below is better, as it takes advantage of the structured interface ZSH provides for variables like $PATH. This approach is standard for bash, but as far as I know, there is no reason to use it when ZSH provides better alternatives.
