Extended the module to at least nominally handle dotted variables:

use strict;
use warnings;

package Template::Capturing::Stash;
{
    use base 'Template::Stash';
    our %remembering_hash;
    sub get {
        die if @_ != 2;
        my ( $self, $var_name ) = @_;
        my $var_value = $self->SUPER::get($var_name);
        if ( ref $var_name eq 'ARRAY' ) {
            $var_name = compound_var( @{$var_name} );
        }
#print "! Get of $var_name = $var_value\n";
        $remembering_hash{$var_name} = $var_value;
        return $var_value;
    }
    sub set {
        die if @_ < 3 or @_ > 4;
        my ( $self, $var_name, $var_value, $default ) = @_;
        die "Not yet coded to handle default" if defined $default;
        my $return_value = $self->SUPER::set( $var_name, $var_value );
        if ( ref $var_name eq 'ARRAY' ) {
            $var_name = compound_var( @{$var_name} );
        }
#print "! Set of $var_name = $var_value\n";
        $remembering_hash{$var_name} = $var_value;
        return $return_value;
    }
    sub compound_var {
        my @var_name = @_;
        my @compound_var;
        foreach my $element ( @var_name ) {
            unless ( $element eq '0' ) {
                if ( ref $element eq 'ARRAY' ) {
                    $element = compound_var( @{$element} );
                }
                push @compound_var, $element;
            }
        }
        return join '.', @compound_var;
    }
}
