The company I work for is considering putting some of its non-commercially-sensitive Perl modules on CPAN for general use. I have been asked to investigate this.

I already know about PAUSE and how to "Request PAUSE account" (I have such an account myself). The wisdom I'm seeking in this instance regards accounts for (commercial) organisations and whether there are any special considerations.

It looks like the process should be straightforward; but, of course, looks can be deceptive. If anyone has done this previously and encountered any stumbling blocks, gotchas, or such-like, a description of your experiences and how they were overcome (or, indeed, how to avoid them in the first place) would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
