This question is answered in tests/README.test_maintainers.txt:

   Running a single test
   ---------------------

     ./bin/prove script.pl
     perl shell_harness script.sh

##
The difference with David's recommendation is that using "tests_to_run"
makes the single test to be the only one to be run until that file is
emptied out again, while my suggestion is truly a "one off" solution.

Also, if you use "prove" for Perl test scripts, you'll find it has many
options which might be interesting, such as "--failures--only".
