Module-free version. In brief: perl -le '$size += (-f $_ ? -s _ : 0) for (<*>); print $size'
Unnecessarily cryptic, sorry. (-f $filename) checks whether something is a plain file, as opposed to a socket, directory, link, or some other weird beast. The above is in a for loop, so $_ is each filename coming out of <*>. (-s $filename) gives the size. Except that we've already called stat() on the file, so we don't want to take the time to do it again, which is what the magic underscore filehandle is good for.
Finally, <*> does a pattern match on the current directory. You may prefer to say glob("*").
Readable version:
my $size = 0;
for my $filename (glob("*")) {
next unless -f $filename;
$size += -s _;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
