I would publish under an individual's name, and have reference to their workplace.
I can go copy PDF::API2 code right now, call it Agent::Orange, and distribute it- provided I state what the code is based on.. etc. This is the whole point of releasing under the perl license and using open source/gnu what have you- that code cannot be held hostage! It's kinda like a capitalist free market science information model. If I release X and you start maintaining a version in better shape than my X, then more people will download, use it. That's what gives you 'authority' - or close enough.
