brew install cpanminus

“Install cpanminus with Homebrew and show me its version”
“Read cpanminus --help and give me three useful examples for my files”
“Update cpanminus and tell me what changed”

Can ChatGPT run cpanminus on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs cpanminus there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install cpanminus first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install cpanminus for you.

Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only: running commands is turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
