Personally, I prefer my version, which is available from
public.perforce.com:1666 as //guest/jonathan_kamens/p4pr.perl.

The two main new features are:

* It will trace back through branchings, as opposed to only showing
  you changes back through revision 1 of the file's current location.

* You can specify "--after=DATE" to only look at changes after the
  specified date.  This way, if you know that the code you're
  wondering about couldn't have been changed more than <whatever> ago,
  you can limit how far back the script goes and hence make it run
  faster.
