TMTOWTDI:
$ perl -nE '
chomp;
my @x = split /\|/;
my ($y) = grep $x[$_] =~ /,/, 0..$#x;
for (split /,/, $x[$y]) {
splice @x, $y, 1, $_;
say join "|", @x;
}
'
a,b,c|d|e
a|d|e
b|d|e
c|d|e
a|b,c,d|e
a|b|e
a|c|e

Although, for dealing with spreadsheet data,
Text::CSV
would always be my first port of call.
Update:
The code I originally posted had:
my @z = split /,/, $x[$y];
for (@z) {
I've reduced that to:
for (split /,/, $x[$y]) {
The output is identical for both cases.
