Webpack 5, PurgeCss, Purgecss-webpack-plugin,

Hi there, I created a project using Webpack 5 to handle the Scss => CSS conversion plus a lot more.
I've gotten everything to work but the PurgeCss.
I keep getting the error PurgeCss is not a constructor when I run Webpack.
Funny enough this used to work but ever since I updated the package.json file to get rid of vulnerabilities and now it crashes.
The full code can be found on the GitHub repo..
If someone can tell me why, I would appreciate it, Thanks.

const path = require("path");
// const glob = require("glob");
const _MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
const _StyleLintPlugin = require("stylelint-webpack-plugin");
const _ESLintPlugin = require("eslint-webpack-plugin");
const { CleanWebpackPlugin } = require("clean-webpack-plugin");
const _CopyPlugin = require("copy-webpack-plugin");
// const { _PurgeCSSPlugin } = require("purgecss-webpack-plugin");

// const PATHS = {
//   src: path.join(__dirname, "../src"),
// };
// const PurgecssPlugin = new _PurgeCSSPlugin({
//   paths: glob.sync(`${PATHS.src}/**/*`),
// });

const MiniCssExtractPlugin = new _MiniCssExtractPlugin({
  filename: "[name].css",
  chunkFilename: "[id].css",
});

const ESLintPlugin = new _ESLintPlugin({
  overrideConfigFile: path.resolve(__dirname, ".eslintrc"),
  context: path.resolve(__dirname, "../src/js"),
  files: "**/*.js",

  configFile: path.resolve(__dirname, "stylelint.config.js"),

    {

      to: path.resolve(__dirname, "../../project/public/index.php"),
    },
  ],
});

So apparently this is a webpack-purgecss-plugin 5.0 issue since webpack 5.0 So I downgraded the plugin to 4.1.3 and it works again.
