I'm afraid it will show up as my own project under my own name when I'd like it to just go to the author's space where it belongs.
The version you upload will show up under your ID, not the previous author's ID. However, from your CPAN page for the module, users can look at previous versions by selecting "Other Releases". Similarly, from the previous author's CPAN page for the module, users can click on the "Latest Release" link to get to your latest version.
Links to the documentation I am obviously overlooking welcome :)
I don't know of any, other than the PAUSE site.

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
