An extra possibility I thought of:

If the names may contain spaces:
Code:
group1="\
Joe
Brian
John Doe
Mark"

group2="\
Kim
Annie
Kate
Anna"

printf "%s\n" "$group1" "$group2" | pr -t2s:

If the lists always consist of only single words, you might get away with something like this:
Code:
group1="Joe Brian John Mark"
group2="Kim Annie Kate Anna"
printf "%s\n" $group1 $group2 | pr -t2s:

NAME
POE::Loop::Tk - a bridge that allows POE to be driven by Tk SYNOPSIS
See POE::Loop. DESCRIPTION
POE::Loop::Tk implements the interface documented in POE::Loop. Therefore it has no documentation of its own. Please see POE::Loop for more details. POE::Loop::Tk is one of two versions of the Tk event loop bridge. The other, POE::Loop::TkActiveState accommodates behavior differences in ActiveState's build of Tk. Both versions share common code in POE::Loop::TkCommon. POE::Loop::Tk dynamically selects the appropriate bridge code based on the runtime environment. SEE ALSO
POE, POE::Loop, Tk, POE::Loop::TkCommon, POE::Loop::PerlSignals. AUTHORS &; LICENSING Please see POE for more information about authors, contributors, and POE's licensing. perl v5.10.1 2010-04-11 POE::Loop::Tk(3pm)
