Are you talking about a TextView widget or an Entry widget?

Usually the ./gtkrc-2.0 file sets the style for all widgets, but you can
override the default style in a custom manner in a single script.
Assuming you are talking about an Entry widget.......

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Gtk2 '-init';

Gtk2::Rc->parse_string(<<__);

#if you want to pull in a theme
#include "/usr/local/share/themes/Bumblebee/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

style "normal" {
  font_name ="serif 30"
}

style "my_entry" {
  font_name ="sans 25"
  text[NORMAL] = "#FF0000"
  text[INSENSITIVE] = "#555555"
}

widget "*" style "normal"
widget "*Entry*" style "my_entry"
__

my $window = Gtk2::Window->new;
$window->set_title("Hello world");
$window->signal_connect( destroy => sub { Gtk2->main_quit; } );

my $vbox = Gtk2::VBox->new();
$vbox->set( "border_width" => 10 );
$window->add($vbox);

my $label = Gtk2::Label->new("ÃÃÃÃÃÃ");
$vbox->pack_start( $label, 0, 0, 5 );    # expand?, fill?, padding

my $entry = Gtk2::Entry->new();
$vbox->pack_start( $entry, 0, 0, 5 );

my $button = Gtk2::Widget->new( "Gtk2::Button", label => "Set Insensitive" );
$button->signal_connect( clicked => sub { $entry->set_state('insensitive') } );

my $button1 = Gtk2::Widget->new( "Gtk2::Button", label => "Quit" );
$button1->signal_connect( clicked => sub { Gtk2->main_quit; } );

$vbox->pack_start( $button, 0, 0, 5 );
$vbox->pack_start( $button1, 0, 0, 5 );

$window->show_all();

Gtk2->main;
__END__
