[Nikto-discuss] Non integer pause times not working as expected

[Sullo]

Good question which should be documented. Adding to comments in
nikto.plfor now and will get it in the official docs later...

# Optional modules loaded elsehwere:
POSIX  -- reading in passwords w/o echoing characters
Time::HiRes -- pause/sleep functionality

# MSF report plugin
RPC::XML
RPC::XML::Client

# JSON-PP.pm -- for -Savedir functionality
Math::BigInt
Math::BigFloat
Encode
Scalar::Util

# LW2 -- these may be faster than built-in LW code but will not fail w/o
MIME::Base64
MD5
