Mod Rewrite for Metadot

I need to know how to create a mod rewrite for my website

The website url currently looks like this

http://www.mydomain.com.au/metadot/index.pl

is there any way to remove /metadot from the url that is displayed in the browser so I can have a url that looks like http://www.mydomain.com.au

current httpd.conf for metadot

===============================================
Alias /images/ /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/html/images/
Alias /js/ /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/html/js/
Alias /metadot/ /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/metadot/
Alias /public/ /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/sitedata/public/
Alias /skins/ /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/sitedata/skins/
Alias /htmlarea3/ /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/html/js/htmlarea3/

<Location       "/metadot/">
SetHandler    cgi-script
PerlHandler    speedy::Registry
PerlSendHeader    On
Options       +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex    index.pl
</Location>

================================================

Any suggestions

You need to enable the AllowOveride directive in the httpd.conf template. You can read about my travails here:
