Update to 2.27

Upstream changes:
2.27  2021-09-21T15:48:00
        - Add the option of passing a hashref to the constructor, where it is \ 
turned into an
                object of the class. See POD under new([$config]) for details.
                This patch to the code and POD includes the new test \ 
t/08.constructor.t.
                The patch was provided by D Hauke, with thanx.
        - Move test.conf back into t/, where it was years ago, before someone \ 
tried to remove
                all uses of File::Spec. But since File::Spec is used often now, \ 
there is no point
                in keeping test.conf in the root directory of the distro.
