How to make 'p4 annotate' list the modifier name instead of revision number

Question

Hi, In previous organization, 'cvs annotate' used to give annotation w.r.t modifier login id. This was very useful and time saving in finding out who modified what in the file. Could i do same thing in perforce with simple tweeks?

Thanks

There is a similar question on SO about that already. The best I can come up with is:

1. Write a python (or ruby or ) wrapper, that calls p4 annotate -c file, filters out the change numbers and maps those to users (via p4 describe -s #change) and joins the two outputs
2. Use the "Time-lapse View" of p4v
