I think it's getting confused by the back-slashes, because in both of 
the following examples ...

... it at least succeeded in finding EPICS Base - the error message is 
different, and the later errors only occur if it did find Base properly.

I think you should try
    perl /epics/base/bin/win32-x86/makeBaseApp.pl -t example example
i.e. no c: or ..s, just an absolute path on the current drive using 
forward slashes.  Oh, and make sure that you don't have a 
C:\testioc\configure directory, since the contents of a RELEASE file 
will override the command line.  I'm also assuming that you haven't 
tried setting the %EPICS_MBA_TEMPLATE_TOP% environment variable since 
that will also change things.

If the above doesn't work, please also post the output from 'perl -V'
