ClearCase and keywords substitution.

As you probably know, the CVS source control has a very useful feature called keyword substitution. It can substitute keywords with values. ( $Id$ ) I really miss this ability in ClearCase. The most difficult situation happens when you are working on the snapshot view disconnected from the ClearCase server.

I would like to be able to know the last editor of the revision and how long in the past that has happened.

Could you advise something to get similar behaviour from ClearCase ?

Thank You

    Thank you very much. I am going to look at it. Did you see any sample implementation, in order to avoid to reinvent the wheel with perl scripting ?
