By directing your browser to http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob%5Fplain/HEAD%3A/MANIFEST perhaps?

A:
There is no way to grab a single file from a Git repository (using a Git client) right now. However, as noted by Manni, the files can be downloaded using a web client if the repository is exposed that way.
There are patches under development to add a sparse checkout feature to Git, but it is not yet complete.
See the Git mail list for details. The latest info (that I could find) is here.

If the the server will process git archive requests (it is disabled by default for git daemon, but it seems to be on for git://perl5.git.perl.org):
git archive --remote=git://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git --format=tar \
perl-5.10.0 MANIFEST | tar -xOf - >MANIFEST-5.10.0
