I mean

                elsif (/^fipsdso$/)
                        {
                        $fips = 1;
                        $nofipscanistercheck = 1;
                        $fipslibdir="";
                        $fipscanisterinternal="y";
                        $fipsdso = 1;
                        } 


Also just trying fips fails here every time.
