Simple with a second line. You don't really need it in one line, do you?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; # https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11133054
use warnings;
$_ = '43:1:1; 43:1:2; 43:1:3; 43:1:4; 43:1:5; 43:1:6; 43:1:9; 43:1:10;
+ 27:3:2; 27:3:7; 27:3:8; 27:3:9; 65:1:4; 65:1:18; 65:1:28';
print "$_\n";
s/\b(\d+:\d+:)(\d+)\K(; \1((??{$+ + 1}))\b)+/-$+/g;
1 while s/\b(\d+:\d+:)[\d,-]+\K; \1([\d,-]+)/,$2/;
print "$_\n";
Outputs:
43:1:1; 43:1:2; 43:1:3; 43:1:4; 43:1:5; 43:1:6; 43:1:9; 43:1:10; 27:3:
+2; 27:3:7; 27:3:8; 27:3:9; 65:1:4; 65:1:18; 65:1:28
43:1:1-6,9-10; 27:3:2,7-9; 65:1:4,18,28

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
