One more thing:  the variables are exported out of an action or in-line 
action node in a ruleset.  That's how those perl scripts were launched -- 
from a ruleset whihc launched them in response to a particular trap.

Those are some of the environmental variables for trap data.

On page 189 of the Administrator's Guide for UNIX version 6.0:

"NVATTR_<1-50> Specifies the MIB attribute where 1-50 is the variable 
binding number".

So, if a trap sends two variables where the first is the hostname and the 
second is an interface, then NVATTR_1 = myhost and NVATTR_2 = eth0
