$Vend::Scratch->{keyname} has never done anything.

$Vend::Session->{scratch}{keyname} might have worked, and still will.

In a global code section, you would use $::Scratch. $Scratch will
actually work as well, as the tags are by default in package
Vend::Interpolate where that variable is exported.

$Scratch is always correct for catalog UserTag and embedded perl.
