While it would probably be far too much work for the small benefit, I'll just mention that MetaCPAN has a "Profiles" section for each user which allows them to specify their accounts at various other sites. One of these sites is PerlMonks so MetaCPAN may already be linking back to the monastery for some users. If you could verify that both ends of this connection say the same thing (eg. PerlMonks user Foo says in their profile that their PAUSE ID is BAR, and user BAR at MetaCPAN says their PerlMonks ID is Foo) then that should suffice for validation.
