my program seem to be processing only the first row.

The rows are in @CHIMP. You grab the first row using my $cblast = shift @CHIMP;. You only execute that once, and you never touch @CHIMP again.

$score is never assigned a value, yet you use it all over the place. Boooo! for disabling warnings or ignoring them. I think you meant $hITS{score} rather than $hITS{$score}.

Anyway, this is what you want: 

my @hITS;
while (<CBLAT>) {
    chomp;
    my ($score, $qID) = ( split /\t/ )[ 0, 9 ];
    push @hITS, [ $_, $score, $qID ];
}

@hITS = sort {
    $b->[1] <=> $a->[1]
        ||
    $a->[2] cmp $b->[2]
} @hITS;

for (@hITS) {
    print $_->[0], "\n";
}

Update: I suppose you did say AoH. It's more readable, especially if you save the other fields: 

my @hITS;
while (<CBLAT>) {
    chomp;
    my %row;
    @row{qw( score qID )} = ( split /\t/ )[ 0, 9 ];
    push @hITS, \%row;
}

@hITS = sort {
    $b->{score} <=> $a->{score}
        ||
    $a->{qID} cmp $b->{qID}
} @hITS;

for (@hITS) {
    print "score: $_->{score}  qID: $_->{qID}\n");
}
