Hi
I am extracting some data from my project webpage and dumping them in a excel sheet. The webpage has got a table on it showing some results and status of few job runs. It uses green to denote a 'pass' and red to denote a 'fail' like below : 

<TD><FONT COLOR = "green">PASS</FONT></TD>
<TD><FONT COLOR = "red">FAIL</FONT></TD>

I am able to successfully dump the content of the page in a excel sheet but not the colors of the table cells. How can I restore the colors as well when dumping the content in excel?
Below is my code 

use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;
use HTML::TableExtract;
require LWP::UserAgent;


my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent();


my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET=>"http://autoreport.nextgen.com")
+;


my $response ;
$response = $ua->request($request);

$response = $response->content();

# Create a new Excel file

my $filename = "/home/user/result.xls";
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new($filename);

# Add a worksheet
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet('exec2');


# Define the format and add it to the worksheet
my $format = $workbook->add_format(
center_across => 1,
bold => 1,
size => 10,
border => 4,
color => 'black',
bg_color => 'cyan',
border_color => 'black',
align => 'vcenter',
);


my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new( keep_html => 0);
$te->parse($response);

foreach my $ts ($te->tables) {
    
    my $nrow=0;
    foreach my $row ($ts->rows) {
    my $ncol=0;
    foreach my $col (@$row) {
        $worksheet->write($nrow,$ncol++,$col) if defined $col;
    }
    $nrow++;
    }
    $nrow++;
 }
