snmp trap contents

hello, there

I am newbie with SNMP and terms still are quite mess to me
so try to understand if I ask silly or simple things. :)

I am able to receive SNMP traps with Perl SNMP_Session module,
but translating content to 'human readable' format seem's
a little bit difficult.

1: Is MIB's description field somewhere inside in the trap ?

2: The OID pick up from trap seems to be quite easy, but if
I want to get the corresponding description field from
the MIB must I have whole worlds MIB files loaded on
the receiving host ? or is there other ways to it ?

3: Is there any www recources, which translates OID to
correspond MIB information or vice versa ?

best regards,
Sami
