I would like to be able to read the background color assigned to individual cells in Tkx table but dont know how to code it. I have been trying the cget command but could not make it works. Please help. Thanks so much in advance </> 

use strict;
 use warnings;
use Tkx; 
Tkx::package_require("Tktable");

my %hash =();
my $table;

my $mw = Tkx::widget->new(".");

 %hash = 
        ( # data to display
          '0,0' => 'Goodby',
          '1,1' => 'cruel',
          '2,2' => 'world',
          );
 
 $table = $mw->new_table
         (
          -rows => 3,
          -cols => 3,
          -bg => "white",
          -width => 6, -height => 6,
          -cache => 1,
          -variable => \%hash,
         );
$table->g_pack(-fill => 'both', -expand => 1);
################################################ 
#   set data and assign background color to cells
################################################ 
$table->tag("celltag","g",("1,1"));
$table->tag("celltag","y",("2,2"));

$table->tag("configure","g",-bg=>"green",-fg=>"red");
$table->tag("configure","y",-bg=>"yellow",-fg=>"red");
################################################  
# Read assigned background colors. white for theoverall #table, 
# green for cell (1,1) and yelow for cell (2,2)
################################################ 
my $table_bg = $table->cget(-bg);        #this works
print "table background= $table_bg\n";

## my $cell_background = ??? - Do not know how

print "Question: How to read the cell background colors?\n";

Tkx::MainLoop();
