A puzzle for you regular expression wizards out there.

Looking for a regex that will split up a string like the following on
any pipe (|) not inside brackets:

a b | a { b |{c | cd}} d | a b c

Correct result would be:

array ( [0] => 'a b', [1] => 'a { b |{c | cd}} d', [2] => 'a b c')

I've found a couple that get close, but nothing that quite does what
I'd like.

(Or is this better handled without regex?)

Thanks,
Tom
