In Locale::Maketext::Lexicon, when you request a handle for a language that is not configured, it falls back to language "en", when it is available in the configuration. 
package Loc;
use parent "Locale::Maketext";
use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
    en => [ Gettext => \*main::DATA ]
};

package main;
use strict;

print ( Loc->get_handle("nl") ? "ERROR: should be undef" : "OK: got un
+def" );
print "\n";

__DATA__
msgid "greet"
msgstr "hello %1"

See? I request language "nl", but I get the handle for "en". The opposite works as expected (at least as I expect it): 
package Loc;
use parent "Locale::Maketext";
use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
    nl => [ Gettext => \*main::DATA ]
};

package main;
use strict;

print ( Loc->get_handle("en") ? "ERROR: should be undef" : "OK: got un
+def" );
print "\n";

__DATA__
msgid "greet"
msgstr "hello %1"

Any idea of how to disable this fallback behaviour? I read something about the method "language_languages" in Locale::Maketext, but that does not make any difference.
