It's functioning correctly; your SET_PROPERTY isn't actually doing  
anything.  See below:

   # actually do something with $newval.  the default implementation
   # of GET_PROPERTY will look for the value in $self->{$param_name}.
   # the default implementation of SET_PROPERTY does this:
   $self->{$param_name} = $newval;

So, GET_PROPERTY was looking for $self->{border}, which was  
undefined, because no value had ever been set to it.
