That is printing lines with commas. How about this with just a small tweak to allow commas in the first and/or last field.

while( <DATA> )
  {
  my @queue = $_;
  while( @queue )
    {
    local $_ = shift @queue;
    if( / [^|,\n]* (?: , [^|,\n]* )+ /x )
      {
      push @queue, map "$`$_$'", split /,/, $&;
      }
    else
      {
      print;
      }
    }
  }
