A right R-module P is $c$-separative provided that $$P{\oplus}P{{c}\atop{\simeq_-}}P{\oplus}Q{\Longrightarrow}P{\simeq_-}Q$$ for any right R-module Q. We get, in this paper, two sufficient conditions under which a right module is $c$-separative. A ring R is a hereditary ring provided that every ideal of R is projective. As an application, we prove that every projective right R-module over a hereditary ring is $c$-separative.

Let R be a ring. A right R-module M is called perfect if M possesses a projective cover. In this paper, we consider the relationship between the class of perfect modules and other classes of modules. Some known rings are characterized by these relationships.
