Assuming the input lists are already ordered I think this works.
#! perl -slw
use strict;
use List::Util qw[ min max ];
use Data::Dumper;
sub fillList {
my( $m, $n, @lists ) = @_;
my $lastE = $m-1;
map {
my( $s, $e ) = @{ $_ }[ 0, $#$_ ];
(
( $lastE < $s ? [ $lastE + 1 .. $s -1 ] : () ),
[ max( $s, $lastE+1 ) .. min( $lastE = $e, $n ) ],
);
} @lists, [ $lastE, $n ];
}
my @in = ( [ 1 .. 17 ], [ 25 .. 42 ], [ 44 .. 50 ], );
my @out = fillList 12, 62, @in;
print Dumper \@out;
__END__

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
