I think it's getting confused by the back-slashes, because in both of
the following examples ...
C:\testioc>perl ../epics/base/bin/win32-x86/makeBaseApp.pl -t example
example
Can't find template top directory
C:\testioc>perl c:/epics/base/bin/win32-x86/makeBaseApp.pl -t example
example
Can't find template top directory

... 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'
