Cell Color depending on value

I'm new to stylesheets and have a question:
Via a stylesheet, is it possible to set the color of a cell based on the
value it contains. I have a table that has cell values of Pass or Fail. I
would like pass to show up as green and fail to be red without writing code
that checks the value of every cell and changes the color depending on the
value.

Any ideas?

With CSS? No.

With Microsoft's style sheet language? Perhaps (see expression()) but that
language isn't really suitable for the WWW.

Looping through the table and adding a class attribute to each cell based on
the contents of the node is a fairly trivial exercise in Perl. Take a look
at HTML:TreeBuilder and the rest of LWP if you decide to go down that
route.
