Simpler:

  sudo env PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB cpan

(although I would not recommend to use cpan; IMHO your problems show 
clearly why this is a bad idea.) Just install Fink's psync package and 
then use it as

   sudo env PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB psync

Even simpler: Reduce sudo's anality once and for all by adding a line

Defaults  env_keep += "PERL5LIB"

to the /etc/sudoers file (edit it using 'sudo visudo'.)
Then you can simply use 'sudo psync' as usual.
