For PowerShell 3.0 users - following works for both modules and script files:

    Split-Path -parent $PSCommandPath
}

From Get-ScriptDirectory to the Rescue blog entry ...

function Get-ScriptDirectory
{
  $Invocation = (Get-Variable MyInvocation -Scope 1).Value
  Split-Path $Invocation.MyCommand.Path
}

What's $MyInvocation?
@alex $MyInvocation is an automatic variable created by PowerShell. From the docs (linked): Contains information about the current command, such as the name, parameters, parameter values, and information about how the command was started, called, or invoked, such as the name of the script that called the current command.
