G'day ghosh123,

From looking at the documentation, it would appear there's three basic steps you'll need to follow:

  1. Use HTML::TableExtract to get the table cells as HTML::Element objects.
  2. Use HTML::Element to get the attributes of each cell.
  3. Use the optional $format parameter of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel's write($row, $column, $token, $format) method to apply the format you retrieved from the HTML table. (See CELL FORMATTING for details.)

[Aside: I'd recommend you look at using more meaningful variable names. You appear to be assigning cell data to a variable you've called $col. That variable would suggest column, not cell, data. As such, that's a potential source of confusion and errors either now or in the future.]
