Once you start cpan with sudo, it will continue to run until you quit. Any program started with sudo runs as root unitl it finishes regardless of how long it takes. What it seems you are doing is starting each separately. Instead, put them in a shell script and run it with sudo. And never put sudo in a shell script; that is a security breach. -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn Programming is as much about organization and communication as it is about coding.
