I am using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel in my code. I need conditional formatting in the sense that if certain conditions are fulfilled the background color should change. My code goes something like this -
But, it is not working. Can you pl. help me with it? Thanks in advance... 
my $workbook    = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new($file_name);
my $worksheet    = $workbook->add_worksheet();
my $format_heading  = $workbook->add_format();

my $condition = "some value";
getFormat($condition);
$worksheet->write($row_position, $column_position, $some_info,$format_
+heading); 

sub getFormat {
    $condition = shift;
    if (Condition 1){
       $format_heading->set_bgcolor('yellow');
    }
    elsif (Condition 2){
       $format_heading->set_bgcolor('pink');
       $format_heading->set_color('red');
    }
    elsif (Condition 3){
       $format_heading->set_bgcolor('blue');
    }
    else {
       $format_heading->set_bgcolor('white'); # Default color
    }
}
