The default idea is that individuals do the work so that's who the CPAN account should belong to.
Funny. Individual s (plural) do the work, so that's who the CPAN account (singular) should belong to.
Seems like a pretty good definition of an organizational CPAN account to me! ;-)
Having said that, there are some difficulties. If I were to work at $ORG which releases a package $PACK on CPAN, using account $NAME (be it a personal or a organizational account), with $NAME comes password $PASS. Now I stop working for $ORG. I probably shouldn't have write access to $PACK anymore. But that would require changing $PASS, and distributing passwords. It's even worse if $PACK was distributed on my personal CPAN account. Then maintainership of $PACK would need to be passed, and if me parting with the company was not on friendly terms, I might not want to cooperate.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
