I have an unusual situation where I'm going to be running a program on a Linux

Is there any way for a Perl program, using WxPerl and on Linux, to show a style
or look and feel for a different OS? For instance, can I change a setting
within the program so instead of getting the Linux look and feel, I would get a
Windows one instead?
No. There is no way to do that. What you see via an Xserver is down to
the Xserver.
If a native look or native desktop application is very important, you
could reconsider your whole design and have a native wxPerl client talk
to a service / processing side on your Linux server. That might be a
major reason for choosing wxPerl: single codebase gives native client on
different operating systems. And being Perl, you have a huge choice of
tools and toolkits to do the client - service conversation.
