I gave this a bash and found several funnies. Firstly I dont know what mib you are using so I tested with MIB2 and used system uptime. (I.e. .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0)

Line 13 and 14 seem unnecessary as you are checking if $session1 is defined earlier in line 8 and 9.

I added a print after the $ifDescr and found that it was giving me the correct uptime for my machine. I then changed line 27 $trapvars[5] = $result->{$ifDescr}; to $trapvars[5] = $ifDescr; add instead of getting the HASH stuff I was getting the correct uptime.

Bellow is my code and a few formatting adjustments for my readability.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SNMP;

my $NodeAddress = 'localhost';
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 $ifAlias = '.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0';
my $result = $session1->get_request($ifAlias);

if (!defined($session1)){ 
    printf("ERROR: %s.\n", $error);
     exit 1;
}

print "Result = $result\n";

my $ifDescr = $result->{$ifAlias};

print "ifDescr = $ifDescr\n";

my ($session2) = Net::SNMP->session(     -hostname => 'localhost',
                     -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] = $ifDescr;

print "Array = @trapvars\n";

$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;
$session2->close;
