We investigate Hopf algebras with non-zero integral from a coalgebraic poin
t of view. Categories of Doi-Koppinen modules are studied in the special ca
se where the defining coalgebra is left and right semiperfect, and several
pairs of adjoint functors are constructed. As applications we give a very s
hort proof for the uniqueness of the integrals and provide information abou
t injective objects in the category of Doi-Koppinen modules. (C) 1999 Acade
