Two problems:

1) You need to drop the colons before var.

2) The outcome is not what you expect.

----

#+property: var foo=1
#+property: var bar=2
#+property: var baz=3
#+property: var qux=4

#+begin_src perl :results output
   print "foo is $foo, bar is $bar, baz is $baz, qux is $qux"
#+end_src

#+results:
: foo is 1, bar is , baz is , qux is

----

Because as things currently work, further assignments to the same 
property (var) by subsequent #+PROPERTY lines are ignored. (Whereas 
further assignments to the same property in property drawers further 
down an outline tree will `overwrite' assignments higher up.)

Yours,
Christian
