Doing so might be useful to you personally and to a handful of other monks. How, though, would using PM resources to make logging into another programming forum easier benefit PM? Why should my page views here suffer in speed from you logging in to answer a Perl question on some other site? It doesn't seem to be a very useful choice for PM's development time or machine resources from where I sit.
Exactly. The OP proposes that PM people expend effort which will have the effect of creating the vector
PM -> SO. How does Perlmonks benefit from diverting mindshare to Stack Overflow?

If the point is to get PM people to post pointers back to PM on SO, one doesn't need to add an OpenID provider to PM for that -- it's simply a matter of creating accounts over there and logging in.

Plus there are the security issues raised by others.

It's far better to spend development effort on things that benefit people on Perlmonks.
