There are no security risks involved with doing that, as its just a form, it
doesn't actually process the login.

Subject: [Perl-unix-users] Login Security
Recently my company decided to put their login on the main page. This main
page isn't secure. However the action attribute of the form tag does point
to a secure cgi script that handles the username/password. What security
risks if any are there with having this form on a non secure page?
