The two changed lines then become:

my $pattern= "(,|\\||:|>|\\]\\[|_\\|_)";
my @splitted= split /$pattern/,$text;

I know you're trying to stay as close as possible to the OP's code, but as an additional recommendation, for maximum clarity in such a situation one should really follow a cleaner approach like trwww's++ or if using a single hardcoded regex, then taking advantage of the /x modifier and throw in suitable whitespace.

    At some point adding whitespace

    leads

    to

    reduced

    clarity

    and

    slower

    comprehension

    .

    Two things would clean those particular lines up in my view - adding /x as you suggest, and using a character set for the single character delimiters: 

    my $pattern= "([,|:>] | \\]\\[ | _\\|_)";
my @splitted= split /$pattern/x, $text;
