I've a couple quick thoughts/questions on this...

Check where your building your Net::SNMP session, and verify what version of SNMP you are using. The docs for Net::SNMP, at the end of the traps section, states:

NOTE: This method can only be used when the version of the object is set to SNMPv1.

One other thing that poped into my head, is networks. I hope that your two machines are on the same subnet as your manager... Most routers drop snmp by default, just a thought. Should have read your comment more carefully, Doah!

Update:Have you tried changing:
my @oids = ($svSvcName, OCTET_STRING, $message);

To:
my @oids = ($svSvcName, 0x01, $message);

A longshot, but I'm rather inexperienced with sending traps.
