The double-quoted string "\|" is equal to "|". You have gained nothing
with your backslash, because it was used by the double quotes, and never
got to the regex engine.
| is a regex metacharacter. split() takes a regex as its first argument.
Therefore, give it a *regex* with the | backslashed:
@data = split /\|/, $line;
