Take a look at /System/Library/Perl/CPAN/Config.pm. If you have prerequisites_policy set to "['ask']", I think you can change this to "['follow']" and it will automatically follow module dependencies without asking you. perldoc CPAN for more information. Some modules, however, such as LWP and HTML::Mason, will ask you questions as they're being installed by CPAN.pm, and there's no way to turn this off short of emailing the module authors and asking them to change it.
