But a class or module can be written in multiple files.

I believe that the methods themselves are marked with file and line 
information; this is available to the debugger. I recall that someone 
came up with a way to access these from Ruby.

Of course, for your example you could just use __FILE__ and __LINE__:

class SomeClass
   puts "file #{__FILE__} line #{__LINE__}"
end
