But since of security reasons I don't want to use sudo

Well, then don't. What's stopping you running su -c cpan, configuring it, and thereafter installing all modules with su -c "cpan Foo::Bar"?

I tried to run cpan as root ... I have to configure it all the time every time I want to use it

Then you have a separate problem. Whether you su -c or sudo, what's run is run with uid 0. It sounds like CPAN isn't saving its config in root's home dir properly, so it asks to be reconfigured each time.

Life is denied by lack of attention,
whether it be to cleaning windows
or trying to write a masterpiece...
