Whenever I install software as root using CPAN it uses my umask (077 =
permissions of 700) to create the CPAN software directories.
Unfortunately, that means that no other userids can use the installed
modules.
Is there some way to set a parm in CPAN to use a particular umask, such
as 022, so I don't have to always remember to change my umask before
going into CPAN?

This is no doubt possible. You should file a ticket on the CPAN.pm
request tracker. See http://search.cpan.org/dist/CPAN
