Try editing nikto.pl and changing this line to point to your nikto.conf file:
$NIKTO{'configfile'}  = "/etc/nikto.conf";    ### Change this line if
it's having trouble finding it

I think the path would be c:\Program Files\nikto-2.1.3\nikto.conf
based on what you have in your email.

Is this a new perl installation--did it work before? This looks like
an internal perl/net::ssleay module error. If this is a new install,
I'd recommend reinstalling that module and trying again. You may also
try Net::SSL to see if that works better.

Without SSL it seems to be working correctly--you just won't be able
to test encrypted resources.
