Ruby parses source into a tree of nodes, rather than a bytecode stream 
(although the next generation of Ruby may well interpret a bytecode
stream). There are a couple of extension packages that let you examine 
this node tree. Both are referenced on

   http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/ruby/downloads/nodeDump.html

You'll need a compiler and the Ruby source to get either of them
working.
