Check this:

$ cat spec/lib/plugins/filedirbug.rb
puts File.dirname(__FILE__)
eval("puts File.dirname(__FILE__)")

$ ruby spec/lib/plugins/filedirbug.rb
spec/lib/plugins
.

C:\>cat test
eval("puts __FILE__")
eval("puts File.dirname(__FILE__)")

eval("puts __LINE__")

C:\>ruby test
(eval)
.

.

If you look at the source for eval, you'll see:

    char *file = "(eval)";
    int line = 1;
