     all input conform to this regex: /first: (?:\d+\n)+\nlast: (?:\d+\n)+/
     use one regex match and construct a data structure that will allow you
     to print out
     "first numbers are a1, ... and the last numbers are b1, ... bn"
     give my fantacy regex memory scheme i would do this
     $text =~ /first: (\d+\n)+\nlast: (\d+\n)+/;
     print "first numbers are "
      . join (",",@$mem[0]);
     print "and the last numbers are".
       join (",",@$mem[1]);

Check the perlre pod for the (?{...}) section.  (WARNING: you may
lose SAN points.)  You can push things into arrays at every partial
match, or whatever else you want.
