Using cpan as root to build/install modules, always uses uid 1000 and gid 1000. These id's are already allocated to other users/groups making system administration difficult.

I have searched the web (including this site) and the documentation without finding anything helpful. See below:

This is happening on all of my Linux systems. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
