FWIW, I often start Classic by opening /System/Library/CoreServices/Classic
Startup.app.

Those methods both still work.

MacPerl also runs fine under Classic, albeit a bit slow.  Just yesterday I
ran the code from an article on oreillynet.com, meant for perl on Mac OS X,
in MacPerl under Classic (the article implied that perl for Mac OS X was
"full perl" compared to MacPerl, so I found it interesting that all their
code ran fine in MacPerl :-).  Yesterday I also used Mac::Glue on MacPerl
under Classic to control iTunes in Mac OS X.
