I apologize if this is an obvious question but, I have been working on this and can't seem to get it working. I want to do an SNMP get then generate a trap with the information recieved from the get and some other information. I have stripped this code down to it bare essentials: 
#!/opt/VRTSnc/bin/perl -w
use Net::SNMP;
my $NodeAddress = '10.72.36.1';
my $ReadCommunity = 'public';
my ($session1, @trapvars, $error) = Net::SNMP->session(
 -hostname => $NodeAddress,
 -community => $ReadCommunity);
if (!defined($session1)){ printf("ERROR: %s.'n", $error);
  exit 1;}
my $ifAlias = '.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18.110';
my $result = $session1->get_request(
 -varbinds => [$ifAlias]);
if (!defined($session1)){ printf("ERROR: %.'n", $error);
 exit 1;}
my $ifDescr = $result->{$ifAlias};
my ($session2) = Net::SNMP->session(
 -hostname => '10.62.11.58',
 -port => '162',
 -community => 'public');
if (!defined($session2)){ printf("ERROR: %s.'n", $error);
 exit 1;}
$trapvars[0] = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.78.0.100147";
$trapvars[1] = OCTET_STRING;
$trapvars[2] = 'IFName';
$trapvars[3] = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.78.0.100147";
$trapvars[4] = OCTET_STRING;
$trapvars[5] = $result->{$ifDescr};
$session2->trap(
 -enterprise => '1.3.6.1.4.1.78',
 -agentaddr =>  $NodeAddress,
 -generictrap => '6',
 -specifictrap => '100147',
 -varbindlist => \@trapvars);
if (!defined($session2)){ printf("ERROR: %s.'n", $error);
 exit 1;}
$session1->close;

If I print the array i see the following information: .1.3.6.1.4.1.78.0.100147 4 IFName .1.3.6.1.4.1.78.0.100147 4 HASH(0xeea8c)
