How to get the format pattern & background color of a cell using OLE Excel when the worksheet is using conditional formatting? Here is a part of my code, it cant get the "real" format of the cell. Any idea? 
my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application')
    || Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');

 my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open("checklist.xls");
my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets(4);
print "Sheet Name: ".$Sheet->{'Name'}."\n";
foreach my $row ($b..$l){
        next unless defined $Sheet->Cells($row+1,$fcol+1)->{'Value'};
        print "-".$Sheet->Cells($row+1,$fcol+1)->{'Value'}."\n";
        foreach my $row2 ($row..$l){
                last if !defined($Sheet->Cells($row2+1,$pcol+1)->{'Val
+ue'});
                my $pattern = $Sheet->Cells($row2+1,$pcol+1)->Interior
+->{Pattern};
                print "---".$Sheet->Cells($row2+1,$pcol+1)->{'Value'}.
+"-".$pattern."\n";
        }
}
$Book->Close;
