My code could not work on your second example since you have stuff like "abcList" in it. Adding < and > to the pattern would have helped too. Anyway, Franklin's code is shorter and more efficient ^^

Code:
my $cnt=0;
local $/="</abc>";
while(<DATA>){
  if(/.*(<abc>.*<\/abc>)/s){
    my @tmp = split("\n",$1);
    print "abc=",$#tmp+1,"\n";
  }
}
__DATA__
</Data>
</Node>
<Node>
List
<abc>3932590983
3396003964
3355713230</abc>
</Data>
