What happens if you use this command instead?
     perl \epics\base\bin\win32-x86\makeBaseApp.pl -t example example

I suspect that Windows may be stripping the path information from the 
command line when you just type the name of a script, whereas the above 
allows perl and hence the script to see the full path to the script.
