Can't call method "Get" on unblessed reference ...

It seems the return value of BLPGetHistoricalData() is not a Perl object (i.e. a blessed reference), but rather just a regular reference. What it exactly is largely depends on the method being called, but unfortunately, the API description you posted isn't all that detailed in that respect, and I don't have the Bloomberg ActiveX control installed, so I can't test myself either...

Best approach is probably to dump the returned data structure, e.g. using Data::Dumper, to figure out what it actually is (maybe an arrayref holding a list of variant objects — but that's merely a guess): 

use Data::Dumper;

# ...
print Dumper $bbData;
